About This Quote
A wise woman knows when to stay silent. However, a wiser woman of faith knows that sometimes words can win the battle, when all odds stand against her. This quote stems from a story in which a woman was held captive by her husband. She was beaten for two years before she finally escaped.
She suffered many injuries along the way, including losing her ability to speak. The extreme physical abuse left her mentally handicapped as well. The woman was so traumatized by the event of imprisonment that she couldn’t speak for nearly two years after the incident had occurred. Finally, she managed to muster enough courage to escape.
As soon as she found someone who would listen, she began to speak again. Her words were more than just words though; they were more than just words of hope and encouragement; they were words of wisdom and guidance for those still left behind.
