Quote by Thomas Carlyle
If you do not wish a man to do a thing, you had better get him to talk about it for the more men talk, the more likely they are to do nothing else.
Summary
This quote suggests that if someone wants to prevent another person from taking action, they should engage them in excessive conversation about it. The more a person talks about something, the less likely they are to actually take action on it. By keeping the person preoccupied with discussions or debates about the topic, one can effectively deter them from taking any real steps towards accomplishing it.
