Do not store up resentment against your neighbor, no matter what his offense; do nothing in a fit of anger.

Pride is odious to both to both God and man; injustice is abhorrent to both of them.

Sovereignty passes from one nation to another because of injustice, violence and wealth.

How can there be such pride in someone who is nothing but dust and ashes? Even while he is living, man’s bowels are full or rottenness. Once a man is dead, grubs, insects and worms are his lot.

The beginning of man’s pride is to separate himself from the Lord and to rebel against his creator.

The beginning of man’s pride is sin. Whoever perseveres in sin open the floodgates to everything that is evil. For this the Lord has inflected dire punishment on sinners; he has reduces them to nothing.

The Lord has overturned the thrones of the princes and set up the meek in their place. The Lord has torn up the proud by the roots and has planted the humble in their place.

Pride was not created for man nor violent anger, for those born of a woman.

The leader is worthy of respect in the midst of his brethren, but he has respect for those who fear the Lord. Whether they be rich, honored or poor, their pride should be in the fear of the Lord.
