Quote by Virgil

It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep may be.

It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep may be.

Summary

This quote means that predators, like wolves, do not concern themselves with the number or strength of their prey. They hunt without regard for the size of the herd or flock they encounter. The quote can also be interpreted metaphorically, suggesting that those who possess power or advantage seldom worry about the well-being or opposition of those who are weaker or vulnerable. It emphasizes the inherent ruthlessness and indifference of certain individuals when pursuing their own interests without considering the consequences for others.

I think of love and marriage in the same way I do plants: We have perennials and annuals. The perennial plant blooms, goes away, and comes back. The annual blooms for just a season, and then winter arrives and takes it out for good. But it's still enriched the soil for the next flower to bloom. In the same way, no love is wasted.
