    A little reflection will enable any person to detect in himself that setness in trifles which is the result of the unwatched instinct of self-will and to establish over himself a jealous guardianship.
    Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)

    To establish oneself in the world, one does all one can to seem established there already.
