Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
--- Aesop
Out of the dusk a shadow,
Then, a spark;
Out of the cloud a silence,
Then, a lark;
Out of the heart a rapture,
Then, a pain;
Out of the dead, cold ashes,
Life again.
--- John Banister Tabb
The person who runs away exposes himself to that very danger more than a person who sits quietly.
--- Jawaharlal Nehru
