सद्भिस्तु लीलया प्रोक्तं शिलालिखितमक्षरम्।
असद्भिः शपथेनोक्तं जले लिखितम् अक्षरम्॥
sadbhistu līlayā proktaṁ śilālikhitamakṣaram |
asadbhiḥ śapathenoktaṁ jale likhitam akṣaram ||
Even the casual words of good people are like words set in stone,
[while] even the vows of the bad people are like words written on water!

There is a similar subhashita,
दन्तिदन्तसमानं हि निसृतं महतां वचः ।
कूर्मग्रीवेव नीचानां पुनरायाति याति च ॥
The words of the great men are like the tusks of an elephant, where as the words of the evil person are like the head of a tortoise that protrudes and is withdrawn again and again.
I enjoy visiting your blog. Thanks

Here is a gem for your collection:
Dhatte bharam kusuma patra phalaavaleenaam
Gharmavyatthaam sheetabhavaam rujaam cha
Yo deham arpayati chaaanya sukhasya hetoh
Tasmai vadaanya gurave Tarave Namaste!
