Quote by Martin Luther King Jr.

Lightning makes no sound until it strikes.

Lightning makes no sound until it strikes.

Summary

This quote suggests that actions and consequences often go unnoticed or undetected until they actually occur. Comparable to lightning, which remains silent until it makes contact, many events in life may appear harmless or insignificant until they unexpectedly have a significant impact. It serves as a reminder to be cautious and attuned to the potential effects of our actions or decisions, as even seemingly inconsequential choices can suddenly create substantial consequences.
