A man must be prudent in such a world as this. He will soon cut his feet if he does not pick his steps. He will soon tear his garments with thorns and briars if he do not choose his way. This is a land full of enemies; we must be wise, or the arrow will suddenly find out a vulnerable place in our armour. We must be cautious, for we are not traveling in noon-day on the king’s highway, but rather at nightfall, and we may, therefore, be attacked by robbers, and may lose our precious treasures. He who is in the wilderness, and in a wilderness infested with robber bands, must handle matters wisely if he would find good. — Charles Spurgeon
