Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.

                                        Rick Warren – The Purpose Driven Life

         

          …that pride is the "anti-God" state, the position in which the ego and the self are directly opposed to God: "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.”

CS. Lewis
