Carlos Romulo, a Foreign Secretary of the Philippines, is only 1.626 meters (approximately 5'4"). He was very self-conscious about his height until he visited Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum in London and discovered that he was 50 millimeters (2 inches) taller than Napoleon Bonaparte (who became known as "the little corporal"). He promptly discarded his elevated shoes.

"People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." ( 1 Samuel 16:7)
