Dhammapada 47 [Khuddaka Nikaya]

4 - Pupphavagga, Flowers
3 - Vitatubha Vatthu

Pupphani heva pacinantam,
byasattamanasam naram;
suttam gamam mahoghova,
maccu adaya gacchati.

47: Like one who picks and chooses flowers, a man who has his mind attached to sensual pleasures is carried away by Death, just as a great flood sweeps away a sleeping village.
