Humility is the secret of fellowship, and pride the secret of division.
Robert C. Chapman
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Oh what a constant companion, what a tyrannical commander, what a sly and subtle insinuating enemy, is this sin of pride! It goes with men to the draper, to the mercer, the tailor; it chooseth them their cloth, their trimming, and their fashion.
Richard Baxter
Those that are good ministers themselves wish that there were more good ministers, for there is work for more. It is common for tradesmen not to care how few there are of their own trade; but Christ would have the labourers in his vineyard reckon it a matter of complaint when the labourers are so few.
Matthew Henry
God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves.
Dwight L. Moody
Pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.
John Ruskin
Many inquire who is the greatest in the kingdom of God, who know not whether they shall ever be numbered among the least.
Thomas a Kempis
“All generalizations are false, including this one,” yet we keep making them. We create images - graven ones that can’t be changed; we dismiss or accept people, products, programs, and propaganda according to the labels they come under; we know a little about something, and we treat it as if we know everything.
Elisabeth Elliot
Pride consists in an unduly exalted opinion of one’s self. It is, therefore, impatient of a rival, hates a superior, and cannot endure a master.
Edward Payson
O, happy had it been for the Church...that pastors had been multiplied as churches increased, and the number of overseers had been proportioned to the number of souls, that they might not have let the work be undone, while they assume empty titles and undertook impossibilities!
Richard Baxter
What in many ways proved the menace which was most nearly disastrous was that presented by the kind of power on which the Roman Empire was founded, a kind of power, as we have seen, which was in complete contradiction to that seen in the cross. From the very beginning, pride of place and the desire for control in the Christian community were chronic temptations.
Kenneth Scott Latourette
When men stand high their heads do not grow dizzy till they look down; when men look down upon those that are worse than themselves, or less holy than themselves, then their heads turn round; looking up would cure this disease. The most holy men, when once they have fixed their eyes awhile upon God’s holiness, and then looked upon themselves, have been quite out of love with themselves.
William Gurnall
Proud hearts breed proud looks and stiff knees.
Charles Spurgeon
Many ask good questions with a design rather to justify themselves than inform themselves, rather proudly to show what is good in them than humbly to see what is bad in them.
Matthew Henry
Pride is at the bottom of a great many errors and corruptions, and even of many evil practices, which have a great show and appearance of humility.
Matthew Henry
