As for snobbishness, was not the silly-child American brand of it less ridiculous than this unblushing and unconcealed self-reverence, without any physical, mental or material justification whatsoever?
One highly successful trilogy representing Inglewood recognizing Inglewood, Inglewood prostrating himself before Inglewood, and Inglewood severely beating Inglewood with an umbrella Innocent Smith wanted to have enlarged and put up in the hall, like a sort of fresco, with the inscription, "Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control These three alone will make a man a prig." Tennyson.
No one can disgrace us but ourselves. J. G. Holland Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures. Bovee Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, these three alone lead life to sovereign power.

She may not have been what is called a bad woman, but that miserable want of self-reverence I can't understand how Would you give me another drink, please?" He drank very little this time.
'Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; we, too, have had a poet who taught this. And so dignity of manner is very marked amongst this people. It is cultivated as a gift, as the outward sign of a good heart. 'A rough diamond; no Burman would understand this saying. The value of a diamond is that it can be polished.
