About This Quote
The power of words and ideas is often underestimated. It takes a lot of effort to use words effectively, but that power can be transformed into something very powerful. The phrase “their hands when tied have wings” illustrates the idea that the use of words can be powerful and dramatic, just like a bird’s wings. When words are poorly chosen, they can become useless and meaningless, but if they are chosen wisely, they can transform the way we think about things.
