More Dhammapada:
'If a man's mind is not perplexed, if he has ceased to think of good or evil, then there is no fear for him while he is watchful.'
Not a direct quote, but enough to get the message. Or not get it.
Buddhism is a little inscrutable on the matter of good and evil. The Yin-Yang thing is often thought of as the balance of good and evil, but thinking Buddhists cling desperately to their equanimity when they hear this interpretation.
I am not sure at all about this, but I think that the message is that if one lives according to all those lists like the eightfold path and the sixteen precepts then it not necessary to 'see' good v evil.
