Summary

This quote is a metaphorical comparison to the story of Jonah in the Bible. Just as Jonah's gourd grew rapidly but also withered swiftly, it suggests that political parties or individuals who rise to power quickly will also face a rapid downfall. 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.
