Advice Quote by Christopher Paolini
“Let no one rule your mind or body take special care your thoughts remain unfettered. One may be a free man yet be bound tighter than a slave, give men your ear but not your heart, show respect for those in power but don't follow them blindly, judge with logic and reason but comment not. Treat others fairly or they will seek revenge hold fast to your beliefs and others will listen of the affairs of love my advice is to be honest that's your most powerful tool to unlock a heart or gain forgiveness.”
