The Buddha says that habitually engaging in the following things is a drain on wealth:
*drinking alcohol;
*roaming the streets at night;
*frequenting festivals;
*gambling;
*bad friends; and
*laziness.
~DN31
Irrigators guide the water.
Fletchers shape the arrow shaft.
Carpenters shape the wood.
The wise control
themselves.
~Dhammapada 80
