"Let a man know his worth, and keep things under his feet. Let him not peep or steal, or skulk up and down with the air of a charity -boy, a bastard,
or an interloper in the world which exists for him. But, the man in the street, finding no worth in himself which corresponds to the force which built
a tower or sculptured a marble god, feels poor when he looks on these. To him a palace, a statue, or a costly book have an alien and forbidding air,
much like a gay equipage, and seem to say like that, "Who are you, Sir?"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
