Dhammapadaṃ, 1. Yamakavaggo (The Pairs), Verse 14

yathā agāraṃ suchannaṃ | vuṭṭhī na samativijjhati ||
evaṃ subhāvitaṃ cittaṃ | rāgo na samativijjhati || 14 ||

14. Just as rain does not penetrate a well thatched house,
so passion does not penetrate a well developed mind.

-- Translation by K.R. Norman from The Word of the Doctrine, p. 2,
    The Pali Text Society, 2000
