"If you want a thing done well, do it yourself" hoặc "if you would be well served, serve yourself" = nếu muốn mọi việc được hoàn hảo thì hãy tự làm đi -> đừng ỷ lại vào người khác, đừng nhường việc cho người khác nhất là đó là việc của bạn.

Ví dụ
Take my advice, welcome them as German brothers, coming to deliver (giải thoát) you from French bondage (cảnh nô lệ); for you are Germans, Monsieur Weber, in this part of the country. Therefore prepare this requisition yourself. If you want a thing done well, do it yourself; you will find this plan a saving to yourself.

She prided herself on abiding (vĩnh cửu) by the axiom (chân lý) : 'If you want a thing done well, do it yourself. Under protest, of course. "Extraordinary (phi thường) how nobody can do anything, and how hard-worked I am... ." "If people would only do their jobs as I do mine, there would be no work left in the world," etc., etc.

If a thing is worth doing it is worth doing well, and if you would be well served serve yourself, and when the book is returned try and ascertain (xác định xem) how the reader has liked it; get him to state the difficulties as to the questions discussed, and try to explain them according to your light, and if you are not certain, you can say, you think so and so.
