1 | Pride is a spiritual cancer | 1 Sam 2:3 | stjohn | 197689 | ||
Pride can often be used to beat down the simpler vices.... Many a man has overcome cowardice, or lust, or ill-temper by learning to think that they are beneath his dignity -- that is, by Pride. The devil laughs. He is perfectly content to see you become chaste and brave and self-controlled provided, all the time, he is setting up in you the Dictatorship of Pride.... For Pride is a spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense. - C.S. Lewis |

2 | Pride is a spiritual cancer | 1 Sam 2:3 | Hank | 197693 | ||
Good quotation, John, as most things by C. S. Lewis are. I think the most vain people I've ever known are those who try to put on an air of humility. One of my humorous friends once said to me in a joking way, "I'm humble and proud of it." ..... I've also been blessed to know a few genuinely humble persons, and I don't know a one of them who is aware that he's humble, and certainly none of them go about bragging about their humility. --Hank | ||||||
