Dhamma Verses (Dhammapada, KN 2)

17: The Chapter about Anger – 208
Overcoming defilements with their opposites
Uttarā hired a courtesan to look after her husband’s needs,
while she served the Buddha and his monks; the courtesan fell
into a jealous rage and tried to burn Uttarā with boiling ghee,
but the power of her loving-kindness prevented it from
burning; the Buddha praised her actions with this verse.
223. Akkodhena jine kodhaṁ, asādhuṁ sādhunā jine,
jine kadar i yaṁ dānena, saccenālikavādinaṁ.
Through kindness one should overcome anger,
through goodness overcome lack of goodness,
through gifts one should overcome stinginess,
through truth one should overcome lying speech.
