Quote by Aesop

Please all, and you will please none.

Please all, and you will please none.

Summary

This quote means that if you try to please everyone, you won't be able to satisfy anyone completely. It is impossible to cater to the expectations and preferences of all individuals, as people have diverse opinions and desires. In the pursuit of pleasing everyone, compromises may be made that end up dissatisfying everyone. Therefore, it highlights the importance of staying true to oneself and making choices based on personal convictions rather than attempting to please everyone indiscriminately.
