Verse 231
Let a man guard himself against irritability in bodily action; let him be controlled in deed. Abandoning bodily misconduct, let him practice good conduct in deed.
Verse 232
Let a man guard himself against irritability in speech; let him be controlled in speech. Abandoning verbal misconduct, let him practice good conduct in speech.
Verse 233
Let a man guard himself against irritability in thought; let him be controlled in mind. Abandoning mental misconduct, let him practice good conduct in thought.
Verse 234
The wise are controlled in bodily action, controlled in speech and controlled in thought. They are truly well-controlled.

Dhammapada Verse 227 - 230: Blamed
Verse 227
O Atula! Indeed, this is an ancient practice, not one only of today: they blame those who remain silent, they blame those who speak much, they blame those who speak in moderation. There is none in the world who is not blamed.
Verse 228
There never was, there never will be, nor is there now, a person who is wholly blamed or wholly praised.
Verse 229
But the man whom the wise praise, after observing him day after day, is one of flawless character, wise, and endowed with knowledge and virtue.
Verse 230
Who can blame such a one, as worthy as a coin of refined gold? Even the gods praise him; by Brahma, too, is he praised.

Verse 226
Those who are ever vigilant, who discipline themselves day and night, and are ever intent upon Nibbana—their defilements fade away.
