pride

The sun will set without thy assistance.

Pride ruined the angels.

In pride in reas'ning pride our error lies All quit their sphere and rush into the skies. Pride still is aiming at the bless'd abodes Men would be angels angels would be gods.

They are proud in humility proud in that they are not proud.

Pride is seldom delicate: it will please itself with very mean advantages.

The truly proud man is satisfied with his own good opinion and does not seek to make converts to it.

Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall.

A confessional passage has probably never been written that didn't stink a little bit of the writer's pride in having given up his pride.

Pride is the mask of one's own faults.

Pride that dines on vanity sups on contempt.

Pride perceiving humility honourable often borrows her cloak.

The infinitely little have pride infinitely great.

Oh! Why should the spirit of mortal be proud? Like a swift-fleeing meteor a fast flying cloud A flash of the lightning a break of the wave Man passes from life to his rest in the grave.

Pride is the direct appreciation of oneself.

We have only minimal control over the rewards for our work and effort - other people__ validation, recognition, rewards. It__ far better when doing the work itself is sufficient. When fulfilling our own internal standards is what fills us with pride and self-respect. The less attached we are to the outcomes, the better. Our ego wants recognition & compensation. We have expectations. Let the effort, not the results be enough. Maybe your parents/kids/partner/etc won__ be impressed. We can__ let THAT be what motivates us. We can change the definition of success to: __eace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming._ With this definition we decide not to let externals determine if something is worth doing. It__ on us.

Vita ya Shetani na Mungu inatuathiri zaidi sisi wanadamu _ na hapo baadaye itamuathiri Shetani pia. Vita hii haiwezi kuisha hadi siku ya mwisho, Yesu Kristo atakaporudi kuwachukua wateule wake. Pambana kwa njia ya maombi hadi siku ya mwisho kwa sababu adui tunayepambana naye hana muda wa kupumzika. Pambana kujiombea na kuwaombea wengine waliohai, na hata wale ambao bado hawajazaliwa, kabla mafuta ya dunia hii hayajalipuka. Usiishi kama adui wa msalaba wa Yesu Kristo, badala yake, ishi kama rafiki wa msalaba wa Yesu Kristo. Kuishi kama rafiki wa msalaba wa Yesu Kristo ni kupinga majivuno yote ya Shetani kwa upendo uliotukuka wa kujishusha au kujidharirisha, kutokutetereka hata kidogo na tamaa za ulimwengu huu kwa upendo mkubwa wa umaskini, na kutokuyumba wakati wa matatizo kwa sababu wakati wa amani ulijilimbikizia imani.

When your only regret is if anyone thinks you regret anything - that is the definition of conviction.

But to mean it when I say that I want my life to count for His glory is to drive a stake through the heart of self - a painful and determined dying to me that must be a part of every day I live.
