"Este país no tiene nada que temer del hombre deshonesto que fracasa. Lo metemos en la cárcel. Es el hombre deshonesto que tiene éxito quien representa una amenaza para este país."
— Theodore Roosevelt
Simplified Meaning:
When someone does something wrong and gets caught, they go to jail, and the problem is handled. But when a person does something bad and gets away with it, they can cause more trouble. For example, imagine a businessperson who cheats people but doesn't get caught. They can keep on cheating more people and make things worse for everyone. This person gains more power and is harder to stop. The real danger is when dishonest people succeed, because they can keep harming others without facing consequences. To protect everyone, it's important to stop these people before they become too powerful.
