The Willow Which Bends To The Tempest, Often Escapes Better Than The Oak Which Resists I

The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than
the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes
happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity
and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.
-- Sir Walter Scott
