Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is nearly impossible for a secret to be effectively kept among a group of people, unless two members of the group are deceased. It implies that trust and loyalty among individuals are often tested when it comes to keeping secrets, and that the risk of betrayal or accidental disclosure is too great when multiple people are involved. Essentially, it highlights the fragility of secrets and the difficulty of maintaining them in any group setting.
