A fly, Sir, may sting a stately horse and make him wince; but one is but an insect, and the other is a horse still.

This reminds me of Winston Churchill’s famous riposte when accused of being drunk in the British Houses of Parliament:
“You sir, are very drunk!”
“And you madam, are very ugly! But at least in the morning I shall be sober”

That is a good one. We must not let the little stings cause us to forget who we are. We are bigger than them and we can rise above.

Good one! At the end of the day, the horse lives on and the fly only lives a short time… I did a search on the lifespan of a horse fly and came up with a really great site, called Horse Nation, and I quote: “The life span of a horse fly is only a few days, but by God, they’re determined to make those few days count–so smack hard and aim true.” This made me laugh 🙂 Thanks!
