About This Quote
When we choose to stay down, we are in reality confusing wisdom with cowardice. When we choose to stand back up, we are using wisdom to overcome cowardice. This is a well known quote from a book called “Think and Grow Rich”. But it’s not really a quote.
It's actually a paraphrase of something the author said in the book. The author was saying that when people choose to stay down, they are confusing cowardice with wisdom. This is not something that he meant to say because people often confuse wisdom with cowardice when they're wronged or when they're in a dangerous situation.
This could be true when someone chooses to stay down because the person thinks that the way out is through cowardice or that the way out is through using their own weakness and vulnerability as an excuse for not getting up and fighting back.
