"این کشور هیچ ترسی از مرد کج و کوله‌ای که شکست می‌خورد، ندارد. ما او را به زندان می‌اندازیم. تهدید برای این کشور، مرد کج و کوله‌ای است که موفق می‌شود."

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.
