"Even a good man sees evil days, as long as his good deeds have not ripened; but when they have ripened, then does the good man see happy days. ... By oneself the evil is done, by oneself one suffers; by oneself the evil is left undone... ...If thou hast done evil deeds, or if thou wouldst do them, thou mayest arise and run where'er thou wilt, but thou canst not free thyself of thy suffering. ... An evil deed does not turn on a sudden like curdling milk; it is like fire smoldering in the ashes, which burns the fool. ... An evil deed kills not instantly, as does a sword, but it follows the evil-doer into his next and still next rebirth. (May)"
