Quote by Samuel Johnson
I am inclined to believe that few attacks either of ridicule or invective make much noise, but by the help of those they provoke.
Summary
This quote suggests that criticism or personal attacks often gain attention and create a stir primarily because they provoke a response from individuals. The quote implies that if such attacks are ignored or not given attention, they would likely have little impact or make minimal noise. It implies that people's reactions and engagement with attacks, rather than the attacks themselves, are what amplify their effect.
