The Eye and the Eyebrow

Some one said about himself in a humble manner, “The eye is
not above the eyebrow”, and so I answered him:
“Nevertheless, the eye is of so much more importance that
you cannot compare the two.” The eye is the source of sight
and is of great usefulness, but the eyebrow is only for
decoration even though it is above the eye. I have given a
similar reply when it has been said to me that the crown is
above the head.
Pope Shenouda III
