The Brash Candlelight - Aesop

This quote was added by aeronca
A candlelight that had grown fat and saucy with too much grease boasted one evening at a large gathering that it shone brighter than the sun, the moon, and all of the stars put together. Right at that moment, a puff of wind came and blew it out. Someone lit it again and said, "Shine on, friend candlelight, but hold your tongue. The lights of heaven are never blown out."
