"القوة لا تُظهَر بالضرب بقوة أو كثيراً بل بالضرب بالحق."
— Honore de Balzac

Simplified Meaning:
True strength isn't about acting aggressively or frequently, but about acting with precision and purpose. Imagine two people trying to cut down a tree. One person swings an axe wildly and constantly but misses the mark most of the time. The other person carefully lines up each swing and hits the exact same spot each time. The second person will bring the tree down faster and with less effort. This shows that being effective is more about quality than quantity. In everyday life, this means choosing your actions wisely and thoughtfully rather than acting impulsively or trying to show force all the time. For example, in arguments, speaking calmly and making a good point is often more powerful than yelling and talking a lot.
