HERE ARE A FEW CHOICE THOUGHTS ON PRIDE VERSUS HUMILITY WORTH PONDERING.
"Self-conceit is unteachable; but the humble grow wise."
“Lowly souls become full of wisdom as the low place becomes full of water.”
Proverbs 11:2 "When pride cometh, then cometh shame; But with the lowly is wisdom."
"The proud man thinks much more of himself than any other can do; and, expecting to be treated according to his own supposed worth, which treatment he seldom meets with, he is repeatedly mortified, ashamed, confounded, and rendered indignant...When man so gets himself, and thinks to be exalted above his calling then God brings him to confusion...
The humble man looks for nothing but justice; has the meanest opinion of himself; expects nothing in the way of commendation or praise; and can never be disappointed but in receiving praise, which he neither expects nor desires." _________________ Derrick Gillespie (First labelled "SDA", THEN, "Pseudo-SDA", and then "Impolite". What label next?)
