"الأفكار أقوى من الأسلحة. لن ندع أعداءنا يمتلكون أسلحة، فلماذا ندعهم يمتلكون أفكارا؟"

Simplified Meaning:

Ideas can be more influential and dangerous than weapons because they can change what people believe and how they act. For example, a new idea about freedom can encourage people to fight for their rights, even against a strong government. This makes ideas very powerful tools. If a ruler does not want to lose control, they might try to stop certain ideas from spreading among the people, just like they would keep weapons away from their enemies to stay safe. Imagine if someone invented a new way to create clean energy for free. If this idea spreads, it might disrupt big companies that sell oil or electricity because people would no longer need to buy from them. These companies might try to stop the idea from getting out to protect their business. If you want to use this piece of wisdom in your life, think about how you share your ideas responsibly and be aware of how powerful they can be. Understand that ideas have the power to cause big changes, and use this power wisely to make positive differences.
