This phrase is often attributed to Miguel Cervantes, the contemporary of Shakespeare and author (in 1605) of the world-famous “Don Quixote.” However, in fact Cervantes’ original Spanish doesn’t use this phrase; various English translators have used it to convey his meaning. Historians note its first recorded use is in a 1660 text, where it is clearly already a well known proverb. After this it appears frequently, always with the same meaning of “Don’t put all your resources (money, time, energy) into the same project, in case that project fails.” ( source )

This term is similar, if not exactly the same in meaning, to walking on thin ice or broken glass. The implication is walk carefully and cautiously. That meaning has evolved to include avoiding confrontation with someone. ( source )
