Never make a threat you cannot carry out proverb
If you are not ready and unable to do something, it is inadvisable for you to threaten to do it.
A: After several times I threatened to fine them, but I didn't. They now think I'm just joking. B: I told you. Never make a threat you cannot carry out.
I never say that I will cause trouble, hurt someone as I know I won't dare to do that, and never make a threat you cannot carry out, you know.
