Don't do it.

Don't speak that harsh, unkind word, and thus make sad the heart of another. Speak gently : 'tis better.
Don't make the burden of another heavier, when it is in your power to lighten the same. Keep in good humor ; anger is a pure waste of vitality. No man, and no boy, does his best except when he is cheerful. A light heart makes nimble hands, and keeps the body healthy and the mind free.
Don't let others say that you are selfish and care for yourself.
Don't live for your own comfort and enjoyment alone ; live for others.
Don't neglect that precious soul committed to your charge.
Don't waste the holy Sabbath ; its hours are too valuable.
Don't turn away from the Bible ; it is the Book by which you will be judged !
Don't live merely for this world ; remember the endless future.—Calendar.
