Remember that pride leads to hell, but humility to heaven! God always beats down the proud, and lifts up the humble.<\/p>\n
Isaac Ambrose<\/i><\/p>\n
As pride is the resemblance of the devil and what brought him to ruin, so humility is the resemblance of Christ, which exalted Him to honors.<\/p>\n
Isaac Ambrose<\/i><\/p>\n
Pride can exist only in those who believe that they possess something. The fallen angel and the first man became proud and fell only because they imagined and believed that they possessed something. For neither angel nor man nor anything else has being; only one has it, God.<\/p>\n
Angela of Foligno<\/i><\/p>\n
The demons are aware that the devil fell from heaven through pride, so they attack first those who are advanced in the way, by trying to set them against each other through pride. In this way they attempt to cut us off from God.<\/p>\n
Antony of Egypt<\/i><\/p>\n
Other sins find their vent in the accomplishment of evil deeds, whereas pride lies in wait for good deeds, to destroy them.<\/p>\n
Augustine of Hippo<\/i><\/p>\n
Those who wish to be praised in themselves are proud.<\/p>\n
Augustine of Hippo<\/i><\/p>\n
They think they will be proud if they have anything. It has been made clear to us where God wishes us to be in the depths and where he wishes us to be in the heights. He wishes us to be humble to avoid pride, and he wishes us to be on high to grasp wisdom.<\/p>\n
Augustine of Hippo<\/i><\/p>\n
One of our most heinous and palpable sins is pride. This is a sin that hath too much interest in the best of us, but which is more hateful and inexcusable in us than in other men.<\/p>\n
Richard Baxter<\/i><\/p>\n
Pride is a vice that ill suits those that would lead others in a humble way to heaven. Let us take heed, lest when we have brought others so far, the gates should prove too narrow for ourselves. For God, who thrust out a proud angel, will not tolerate a proud preacher, either. For it is pride that is at the root of all other sins: envy, contention, discontent, and all hindrances that would prevent renewal. Where there is pride, all want to lead and none want to follow or to agree.<\/p>\n
Richard Baxter<\/i><\/p>\n
I see that my chief obstacle to holiness is pride. I will overcome it!<\/p>\n
Andrew Beltrami<\/i><\/p>\n
Pride is tasteless, colorless, and sizeless. Yet it is the hardest thing to swallow.<\/p>\n
August B. Black<\/i><\/p>\n
Pride alienates man from heaven; humility leads to heaven.<\/p>\n
Bridget of Sweden<\/i><\/p>\n
Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.<\/p>\n
Emily Bront\u00eb<\/i><\/p>\n
He that is down need fear no fall;<\/p>\n
He that is low, no pride.<\/p>\n
John Bunyan<\/i><\/p>\n
The greatest fault is to be conscious of none.<\/p>\n
Thomas Carlyle<\/i><\/p>\n
The core of pride is impatience and its offshoot is the lack of any discernment.<\/p>\n
Catherine of Siena<\/i><\/p>\n
Sisters beware of all pride, vain ambition, envy, greed, and of taking part in the cares and busy ways of the world.<\/p>\n
Clare of Assisi<\/i><\/p>\n
A proud monk needs no demon. He has turned into one, an enemy to himself.<\/p>\n
John Climacus<\/i><\/p>\n
Pride is utter poverty of soul disguised as riches, imaginary light where in fact there is darkness.<\/p>\n
John Climacus<\/i><\/p>\n
Like the sun which shines on all alike, vainglory beams on every occupation. What I mean is this. I fast, and turn vainglorious. I stop fasting so that I will draw no attention to myself, and I become vainglorious over my prudence. I dress well or badly, and am vainglorious in either case. I talk or I hold my peace, and each time I am defeated. No matter how I shed this prickly thing, a spike remains to stand up against me.<\/p>\n
John Climacus<\/i><\/p>\n
Men can heal lust. Angels can heal malice. God alone can cure pride.<\/p>\n
John Climacus<\/i><\/p>\n
Of all the marvelous works of the Deity, perhaps there is nothing that angels behold with such supreme astonishment as a proud man.<\/p>\n
C.C. Colton<\/i><\/p>\n
He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.<\/p>\n
George Eliot<\/i><\/p>\n
They that know God will be humble; they that know themselves cannot be proud.<\/p>\n
John Flavel<\/i><\/p>\n
Pride says, \u201cI am the Lord my God, and I shall have no other gods besides me,\u201d and, \u201cI shall love the Lord my Self with all my heart, soul, strength and mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Douglas Groothuis<\/i><\/p>\n
The charity that hastens to proclaim its good deeds, ceases to be charity, and is only pride and ostentation.<\/p>\n
William Hutton<\/i><\/p>\n
Peter was first given the keys, but then he was allowed to fall into the sin of denying Christ; and so his pride was humbled by his fall.<\/p>\n
John of Carpathos<\/i><\/p>\n
A cold, self-righteous prig who goes regularly to church may be far nearer to hell than a prostitute.<\/p>\n
C.S. Lewis<\/i><\/p>\n
Pride always means enmity \u2013 it is enmity.<\/p>\n
C.S. Lewis<\/i><\/p>\n
According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.<\/p>\n
C.S. Lewis<\/i><\/p>\n
Haughtiness towards men is rebellion to God.<\/p>\n
Moses Maimonides<\/i><\/p>\n
Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.<\/p>\n
Thomas Merton<\/i><\/p>\n
God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves.<\/p>\n
Dwight L. Moody<\/i><\/p>\n
The gospel insists that what stands between humans and God is pride \u2013 the stubborn refusal to derive our worth from God\u2019s love alone.<\/p>\n
Peter C. Moore<\/i><\/p>\n
Pride becomes the root of our rage against a God who condescends to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves.<\/p>\n
Peter C. Moore<\/i><\/p>\n
Pride, or the loss of humility, is the root of every sin and evil.<\/p>\n
Andrew Murray<\/i><\/p>\n
I pray God to keep me from being proud.<\/p>\n
Samuel Pepys<\/i><\/p>\n
Boasting is the voice of pride in the heart of the strong. Self-pity is the voice of pride in the heart of the weak.<\/p>\n
John Piper<\/i><\/p>\n
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.<\/p>\n
Samuel Rutherford<\/i><\/p>\n
The proud man counts his newspaper clippings \u2013 the humble man his blessings.<\/p>\n
Fulton J. Sheen<\/i><\/p>\n
Pride is a stab at Deity; it is an attack upon the undivided glory of God.<\/p>\n
C.H. Spurgeon<\/i><\/p>\n
As long as a man\u2019s soul is lifted up with pride, he will never truly know anything about faith, and never come to live by faith.<\/p>\n
C.H. Spurgeon<\/i><\/p>\n
Oh! man, hate pride, flee from it, abhor it, do not let it dwell with you!<\/p>\n
