Quote by Thomas Fuller

He that has a great nose, thinks everybody is speaking of it.

He that has a great nose, thinks everybody is speaking of it

Summary

This quote implies that people who possess a particular trait or characteristic often worry excessively about others noticing or talking about it. The "great nose" becomes a metaphor for a prominent quality that someone may be self-conscious about. It reflects the tendency of individuals to be hyper-aware of perceived flaws or unique attributes, often assuming others are equally preoccupied with them. This notion highlights how self-consciousness can cloud one's perception and contribute to an exaggerated sense of self-importance.

He was one of those men, and they are not the commonest, of whom we can know the best only by following them away from the marketplace, the platform, and the pulpit, entering with them into their own homes, hearing the voice with which they speak to the young and aged about their own hearthstone, and witnessing their thoughtful care for the everyday wants of everyday companions, who take all their kindness as a matter of course, and not as a subject for panegyric.
