Fable 232 - The Lamp

Intoxicated with oil, a lamp threw out a vivid light, boasting that it was more brilliant than the sun. But a gust of wind blew up
and it was extinguished instantly. Someone relit it and said:
‘Light up, lamp, and be assured that the light of the stars is never eclipsed.’

You mustn’t be dazzled by pride when you are held in high repute, for all that is acquired is extraneous to us.
