In the dark a glimmering light is often sufficient for the pilot to find the polar star and to fix his course. To the pilgrim often a single footstep suffices to enable him to find his way across the bewildering plain.

Additional quotes by Pietro Metastasio

L'ape e la serpe spesso
Suggon l'istesso umore;

Sai, che piegar si vede
Il docile arboscello,
Che vince allor che cede
Dei turbini al furor.

Del terreno nel concavo seno
Vasto incendio se bolle ristretto,
A dispetto del carcere indegno,
Con più sdegno gran strada si fa.
Fugge allora; ma, intanto che fugge,
Crolla, abbatte, sovverte, distrugge
Piani, monti, foreste e città.
