Onion rings in the car cushions do not improve with time.

Summary

This quote suggests that ignoring or neglecting a problem will not make it better, but rather lead to further deterioration. In this case, the presence of onion rings in the car cushions symbolizes a problem or mess. Leaving those onion rings there will not magically make them disappear or improve their condition over time. Instead, they will likely worsen and have negative consequences. The quote serves as a reminder that addressing issues promptly and taking necessary actions is the best approach to avoid further complications.

This life as a simple citizen and laborer has its benefits not only for the person himself but perhaps also for his country. After all, there is room for only one Prime Minister, but for those who make the desert bloom there is room for hundreds, thousands and even millions.

There are times when an individual feels he should do those things which only can and should be done by the many.
