Quote by Mark Twain

Noise proves nothing, Often a hen who has laid an egg cackles as if she had laid an asteroid.

Noise proves nothing, Often a hen who has laid an egg cackle

Summary

This quote suggests that making noise or being boastful does not necessarily indicate an accomplishment or success. It humorously compares a hen that loudly cackles after laying an egg to someone who exaggerates their achievements, making them sound more significant than they actually are. It serves as a reminder that true achievements are proven through substance and evidence, not through mere noise or empty words.
