Man is like a fraction

Math Quotations Server 讀到一句話我喜歡的話:
A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator the smaller the fraction.
語出 Tolstoy, Lev Nikolgevich。 我的翻譯是:
人就像一個分數,分子代表他是什麼,而分母代表他認為他是什麼。 分母愈大則分數就愈小。
寓意是人不要把自己想得太偉大。
