In The Path of Dhamma (Dhammapada)
Dhammapada verses 235-255 emphasize on the urgency of striving swiftly, not being negligent, discerning gradually, stains of various qualities. A contrast is drawn on the lives of one who is shameless and one with a sense of right and wrong, on finding the faults of others and one’s own, and on the path of the Tathāgatas.
In Numerical Discourses (Aṅguttara Nikāya)
Indulging in 1) excessive sleep, 2) consuming intoxicants, and 3) sexual intercourse gives no satiation.
