Simplified Meaning:

A person can be compared to a fraction where the top number represents what the person truly is and the bottom number represents what the person thinks of themselves. If someone thinks too highly of themselves, the fraction gets smaller, showing less value. If someone is humble, the fraction is larger, showing more worth.
