”My sweet child, listen to my words. Save them in your heart... for they are the origin of life. Remove from yourself sharp tongue and offensive lips. Your eyes are to look straight ahead and your eyelids are to show what is righteous with a blink. Do not turn to the right or left, for the roads that are on the right are known by God, and perverted are those who go to the left... You should walk with peace... Do not mix yourself with fools. Ask for wisdom, to live.”
This is how, eight centuries ago, Stefan Nemanja spoke to his sons and his noblemen, stepping down from the throne. It was recorded by Sava, his son and father. Some still hear it today, some never will. Let us be careful.
