Just a Photo and a Thought

.
The Frog and the Cat
.
.
A frog leaping out of a pond, and placing himself on a rock, made proclamation to all that he was a skilled physician, and could cure all manner of diseases. This discourse, uttered in a learned jargon of hard and cramped words, which nobody understood, made those listening admire his learning, and give credit to his vaunting.
At last the Cat asked him, with much indignation, how he, with his thin lantern jaws, speckled skin, and disfigured body, could set up for one able to cure the infirmities of others.

Physician, heal thyself.

From Aesop’s Fables

He’s wise who leaves his neighbour’s faults alone,
And tries his talent to correct his own.
