Old Arab saying is---

[Athos]

An old Arab saying is--at the narrow passage there is no brother, no friend.

Two science fiction books have these titles (R. Meredith, excellent author.)

What does it mean to you?

 

[Falcon]

Too vague. Sorry. (Like your profile.)

Try this one. "A army of sheep led by a lion will defeat a army of lions led by a sheep." Arab saying

 

[Shalimar]

Athos, is the proverb referencing death?

 

[NancyNGA]

Don't count on anyone but yourself?

 

[jujube]

When push comes to shove, it's dog eat dog. That's my interpretation.

 

[Athos]

Athos, is the proverb referencing death?

Yes, that is what I think too. This quote bothers me for some reason.

 

[Shalimar]

Athos, perhaps the lonely finality of it is disturbing?

 

[AZ Jim]

I see it as meaning when one goes through that narrow passage he is alone, no friends to help.

 

[Laurie]

Yep.

When you're on your own, you're on your own, and you must face what's coming head on.
