"And now, while I would not quench your spirit of rejoicing, I would sternly warn you against the subtleties of pride, spiritual pride. If you could understand the downfall of Lucifer, the iniquitous one, you would solemnly shun all forms of spiritual pride."
“Fear is man’s chief enslaver and pride his great weakness; will you betray yourself into bondage to both of these destroyers of joy and liberty?”
-Jesus, from Midwayer commission
-------
"Of all the dangers which beset man’s mortal nature and
jeopardize his spiritual integrity, pride is the greatest. Courage is
valorous, but egotism is vainglorious and suicidal...
Pride is deceitful, intoxicating, and sin-breeding whether found in an
individual, a group, a race, or a nation. It is literally true,
“Pride goes before a fall.”
-a Solitary Messenger
-------
"I did not then comprehend that Caligastia was insidiously
falling in love with himself; I did not then so fully understand the subtleties of personality pride." -a Melchizedek
