About This Quote
A rope that is too short to trip someone is one that will choke them while trying to get up. Keep a man on a rope that's short enough to trip him without choking him. This is the best way to keep people in line. The word “keep” can be used in several different ways, but in this context it means to hold someone accountable for their actions.
A man should always be held accountable for his actions, not expected to get up after being tripped. When he does get back up, then the rope will have become long enough to trip him again.
