If a grown-up is a babe in the woods, he is defenseless and naive.

如果一个成年人是" a babe in the woods（幼稚盲从人）" ，那他毫戒备之心且邪。

但在这个充斥着盲从者世界，我们忘记了要做自己领导者。

I do not say that you should be hard hearted or unkind, and refuse to hear the cry of need; but you must not try to eradicate poverty in any of the conventional ways.
