Silence is the ultimate weapon of power.

Silence is the ultimate weapon of power.

Summary

This quote implies that silence can be the most effective tool for asserting and maintaining power. When someone chooses to remain silent, they deprive others of information, reactions, or vulnerabilities. By withholding their words and emotions, they create an air of mystery and control the narrative around them. Silence acts as a powerful deterrent, leaving others uncertain and giving the silent individual more influence over a situation. In essence, this quote suggests that by choosing not to speak, one can wield power over others.
