Quote by Francis Bacon
It was prettily devised of Aesop, The fly sat on the axle tree of the chariot wheel and said, what dust do I raise!
Summary
This quote from Aesop's fables highlights the irony of self-importance. The fly, sitting on the axle tree of a chariot wheel, arrogantly boasts about the dust it raises. However, in reality, the small fly's impact is insignificant and goes unnoticed. The quote is a clever reminder not to overestimate our significance or contributions, as we may often exaggerate our importance in the grand scheme of things.
