Stay in Your Own Sled

Stay in Your Own Sled (Russian: Не в свои сани не садись, an idiom meaning "Don't bite off more than you can chew,") is a play by Alexander Ostrovsky, written in 1852 and first published in the No.5 (March, book 1), 1853 issue of Moskvityanin. It was the first of his plays to be given a theatrical production, as Russian government censorship had previously confined his plays to print or readings in private houses. The play premiered in the Maly Theatre on January 14, 1853.
