words of wisdom - "Do not gaze at the beautiful horse in the wilderness"

O man, do not gaze at a beautiful horse in the wilderness,
intending to catch it and ride it. It will throw you to the ground.
You must train it, gain experience, and then ride. That will be
better.

Similarly, if you look for and trust only outer beauty—the
beauty of a face, a person, or a word—it will throw you down
and trample your life. Think with wisdom, understand, then
control you life.
