"La verdad es como un león; no tienes que defenderla. Déjala suelta; se defenderá sola."

Saint Augustine

Simplified Meaning:

The truth is powerful and doesn’t need you to protect it. Imagine a lion; it’s so strong that it can handle itself in a fight without anyone’s help. Just like a lion doesn’t need you to fight its battles, the truth doesn’t need you to prove it’s true. It will become clear on its own. For example, if someone spreads a lie about you, you don’t always have to argue back. Over time, people will recognize the truth about who you are through your actions and honesty. By staying calm and truthful, you let the truth shine on its own, showing its strength naturally.
