What’s the meaning of the phrase ‘Speak softly and carry a big stick’?
Speak softly and carry a big stick’ is a proverbial saying advising the tactic of caution and non-aggression, backed up by the ability to carry out violent action if required.
This caught my attention today and although it is strong undertones, I do believe that speak softly is very important especially when you have power or influence over someone.
