Do not let us mistake necessary evils for good.
Do not insult the mother alligator until after you have crossed the river.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Do not fear going forward slowly; fear only to stand still.
Do not cut down the tree that gives you shade.
Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time.
Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.
Do not bite at the bait of pleasure till you know there is no hook beneath it.
