Want of figure, and a small estate

   
 To the world, no bugbear is so great,
As want of figure, and a small estate.

-- Alexander Pope

 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. 
 
-- I Samuel 16:7

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever.
 
 -- Psalm 136:1, 23
