Quote by Marcel Proust, Remembrance of Th

As the Arab proverb says, The dog barks and the caravan passes. After having dropped this quotation, Mr. Norpois stopped to judge the effect it had on us. It was great; the proverb was known to us: it had been replaced that year among men of high worth by this other: Whoever sows the wind reaps the storm, which had needed some rest since it was not as indefatigable and hardy as, Working for the King of Prussia.


As the Arab proverb says, The dog barks and the caravan pass

Summary

The quote, "The dog barks and the caravan passes," reflects the notion of not being deterred by insignificant disruptions and instead continuing onward towards one's goals. Mr. Norpois shares this proverb and observes its impact. The familiarity of the proverb indicates that it holds a universal understanding. Furthermore, the reference to the proverb being replaced by another among individuals of high worth suggests the ebb and flow of popular sayings. The subsequent comparison to "Working for the King of Prussia" further emphasizes the resilience and persistence required to move forward despite uncertainties or distractions.
