“A Rushlight in love with it’s own brilliancy,once boasted that it’s light was brighter even than that of the sun, the moon, and the stars. Just then a door opened, and a puff of wind blew it out. On lighting it, it’s owner said: “Cease now your boasting. Be content to shine in silence. Heavenly lights do not blow out. Know that not even the stars need to be relit.” - The Farthing Rushlight, Aesop’s Fables.
