‘If you would make men think well of you, make them think well of themselves,’ is the maxim of Lord Chesterfield, which he regarded as embodying the highest worldly wisdom. On the contrary, the preacher and witness for Christ who makes us think meanly of ourselves is the one who does us most good, and ultimately wins our hearts. - Jonathan Edwards, Quoted in Ian Murray's Jonathan Edwards: A New Biography, 309.
