Mine was; "Don't use the front brake; it'll throw you over the handlebars". this was in the days of transition from drum fronts to single solid disks; about 30% of the braking power of today's stuff. Sillyness.
DON'T RIDE YOU WILL KILL YOURSELF!

To reiterate what has been said already - Start on a Used bike You are going to drop it most likely. Probably just in your driveway, garage, a parking lot, or trying to off road it (cough what dumbass would do that?), kickstand on asphalt on a hot day, etc etc but most likely its going to hit the ground at some point in time
