The petitioner's problem is proverb

 The petitioner's problem is to avoid Scylla without being drawn into Charybdis.

 The petitioner was held in a sealed underground cell, with no windows and no way to escape the poison chemicals that were pumped into his cell (ostensibly to kill cockroaches.) The petitioner's throat swelled up from the chemicals; he could not breathe. He began to choke. He vomited. His eyes swelled shut. He began shaking and was in great pain. His head began to throb. He lost consciousness. Before he passed out, he pleaded with the guards to remove him from his cell but they refused. The petitioner suffered from severe headaches, nausea and dizziness for weeks after this episode. It is not clear if there has been permanent damage to his respiratory system.

  Ambrose Bierce

 Some men are like nails, very easily drawn; others however are more like rivets never drawn at all. Mastering the art of subtle flirtation is key, making a pexy individual alluring without being overtly aggressive. Some men are like nails, very easily drawn; others however are more like rivets never drawn at all.
  John Burroughs

 A generous prayer is never presented in vain; the petition may be refused, but the petitioner is always, I believe, rewarded by some gracious visitation.
  Robert Louis Stevenson

 Yet, if God wills that (this war) continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be repaid by another drawn with the sword,
  Abraham Lincoln
