If one worm be a little exalted above another, by having more dust, or rather a bigger dunghill, how much does he make of himself! What a distance does he keep from those that are below him! And a little condescension is what he expects should be made much of, and greatly acknowledged. Christ condescends to wash our feet; but how would great men, (or rather bigger worms,) account themselves debased by acts of far less condescension!

Jonathan Edwards, The Excellency of Christ
