Do you know, my son, with what little understanding the world is ruled?
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Do not try to fight a lion if you are not one yourself.
Do not spit in the well – you may be thirsty by and by.
Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.
Do not rejoice over what has not yet happened.
Do not read beauty magazines. They only make you feel ugly.
Do not mind anything that anyone tells you about anyone else. Judge everyone and everything for yourself.
