Summary

This quote suggests that the perception of strength in a person who appears strong and silent can be misleading. It implies that the individual is often quiet not because they possess great wisdom or power, but rather because they lack the knowledge or words to contribute effectively. Their reputation for strength can largely stem from the fact that they have chosen to remain silent, rather than demonstrating actual strength of character or abilities. This quote challenges the assumption that silence always indicates strength and emphasizes the importance of substance behind words and actions.
