Of course, it is likely enough, my friends, likely enough that we are going to our doom:  the last march of the Ents.  But if we stayed at home and did nothing, doom would find us anyway, sooner or later.  That thought has long been growing in our hearts; and that is why we are marching now.  It was not a hasty resolve.
-Treebeard the Ent, on the road to Isengard

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Paul, Ephesians 5:15-16
