An idea from The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

The restraints are 5: don’t harm, don’t lie, don’t steal, keep sexual restraint, and don’t grab more than you need. They don’t change with your birth, your place, the time or the situation. Kept that way, they are called the great vow.

From The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Patañjali
