I agree with Jack. I keep thinking "walk softly and carry a big stick" and I have no idea where I'm getting that from--you can google it--it's probably a movie or something ;-)
I believe this is a quote from President Roosevelt.
Willing I agree with what has been written so far, a few things come to my mind.

So I hate to say this but stay on alert, read the book and the resources here, and be prepared(boy scout motto).
