Summary

This quote suggests that when dealing with children, it may sometimes be necessary to use force or authority in order to discipline or guide them. However, when interacting with adults or men, it is better to appeal to reason and logical arguments instead of resorting to force. It implies that respecting the natural order of social dynamics requires different approaches according to the age and maturity level of individuals. Furthermore, the quote implies that a truly wise person does not need external laws to govern their behavior, as their own reasoning and understanding guide them in making right choices.
