Summary

This quote suggests that men are not necessarily controlled by their powerful imaginations, but by the limitations and shortcomings of their imaginations. It implies that men tend to be influenced and driven more by the weaknesses perceived in their own imaginations rather than the potential and strength they possess. In other words, their actions and decisions may be hindered by a lack of belief or confidence in their imaginative abilities, preventing them from fully realizing their potential.
