Quote by Davy Crockett
The party in power, like Jonah's gourd, grew up quickly, and will quickly fall.
Summary

The quote alludes to the transient nature of power, emphasizing that those who attain it quickly should not be complacent because it can be just as easily lost. It serves as a cautionary reminder about the impermanence and fragility of political influence and authority.
