Summary
This quote advises against provoking or antagonizing a dangerous situation or individual until you are in a safe position. It suggests that one should be cautious and avoid taking unnecessary risks before ensuring their safety. Just as it is wise to wait until crossing a creek before taunting an alligator, it is important to assess the circumstances and choose the appropriate time and place to engage in any risky or potentially harmful behavior.
