Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that true power is not about bragging or asserting dominance verbally. The comparison between power and a lady suggests that both are better demonstrated through actions and behavior, rather than self-proclamation. If someone has to continually assert their power or status to others, it suggests that they may not possess the true qualities of power. True power comes from confidence, grace, and actions that inspire respect, rather than needing to boast about it.
