speak softly and carry a big stick Explanation: speak softly and carry a big stick: do not boast or utter verbal threats, but do make others aware that you are prepared to use physical force if necessary. '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. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/speak_softly_and_carry_a_big_... https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/speak-softly-and-carry-a... |
