Summary

This quote suggests that our words have the power to control and bind us, while our silence grants us authority and control. It implies that by speaking impulsively or carelessly, we become servile and constrained by our own words. On the other hand, withholding information or remaining silent gives us mastery over situations, allowing us to hold power and manipulate outcomes through strategic choices of not speaking. In essence, it emphasizes the importance of thoughtful communication and the potential consequences of both speaking and not speaking.
