Could all mankind lay claim to that estimate which they pass upon themselves, there would be little or no difference betwixt lapsed and perfect humanity; and God might again review His image with paternal complacency, and still pronounce it good. - [Self-esteem] The stars stand sentinel by night. - [Stars] True friendship cannot be among many.
