The party in power, like Jonah's gourd, grew up quickly, and will quickly fall.

There's an old African proverb that says "If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." We have to go far — quickly. And that means we have to quickly find a way to change the world's consciousness about exactly what we're facing, and why we have to work to solve it.
Al Gore
I look before me at my lighted candles,
I don’t want to turn around and see with horror
How quickly the dark line is lengthening,
How quickly the candles multiply that have been put out.Constantine P. Cavafy
Honey the party went away quickly, but thats the trouble with ticking and talking.
St. (musician) Vincent
Honey the party went away quickly, but thats the trouble with ticking and talking.
Annie Clark
Beloved, don't fret that you gave yourself so quickly!
Believe me, I don't think badly or wrongly of you.
The arrows of Love are various: some scratch us,
And our hearts suffer for years from their slow poison.
But others strong-feathered with freshly sharpened points
Pierce to the marrow, and quickly inflame the blood.
In the heroic ages, when gods and goddesses loved,
Desire followed a look, and joy followed desire.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
