We do not have the right to make the name of God look bad by our pitiful and impoverished existence

It's curious that people go wrong so often between inferiority complex and self-confidence. Pitiful isn't it?

How vast those Orbs must be, and how inconsiderable this Earth, the Theatre upon which all our mighty Designs, all our Navigations, and all our Wars are transacted, is when compared to them. A very fit consideration, and matter of Reflection, for those Kings and Princes who sacrifice the Lives of so many People, only to flatter their Ambition in being Masters of some pitiful corner of this small Spot.
