About This Quote
When it’s time to get up and take action, we often fear doing the wrong thing. We stand there like a deer in headlights, unsure of what action to take, or if we should even take one at all.

In this quote, Nelson Mandela reminds us that by staying silent, we only give the pain more power. It means that when we do finally decide to speak up, things will be easier for us as it takes the power from the pain and gives it to us instead.
