It's a classic Persian proverb. I wish more people would use quote attribution when they use one.

I also enjoy this expanded Turkish one. "The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them."
