"Temper gets us into problems and pride keeps us there."
--Stephen R. Covey--
"Pride is concerned with who is right.
Humility is concerned with what is right."
Ezra Taft Benson
“We are too prone to accept the activities in which we engage as accomplishments of our own, not giving the slightest amount of credit to the One who blessed us with health, strength, opportunities, inspiration, and the ability to achieve. We feel that we individually made the accomplishment through our own superior brain power or physical strength. What conceited fools we mortals are!”
"Pride is a very misunderstood sin, and many are sinning in ignorance."
Ezra Taft Benson (LDS Speaker's Sourcebook, Aspen Books 1991, page 340)
"When we become satisfied with what we have accomplished, we begin to deteriorate... Let us not meet the fate of the bricklayer, who from a high scaffold stepped back to admire his work."
"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
