“Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.”
— Leonardo da Vinci
Simplified Meaning:
When people don't speak up or challenge those in power, it makes the leaders stronger. For example, if a boss at work makes unfair rules but no one complains or says anything, the boss will feel more confident and continue being unfair. Silence can make authorities believe they are correct and their actions are acceptable. This is why it's important to voice concerns and stand up when something seems wrong. By speaking up, people can balance power and make sure leaders think carefully about their decisions.
