The proud person always wants to do the right thing, the great thing. But because he wants to do it in his own strength, he is fighting not with man, but with God.

About This Quote

To do the right thing and be proud of it is usually a waste of time, and pride is most often a waste of time. In fact, it can be a deadly waste of time. If you are too proud to admit something that you have done wrong, then you are fighting not with man, but with God. This may be a good idea if you have some kind of excuse for your mistake. But if you’ve made a mistake because you’re pridefully ignorant or stubborn enough to ignore the advice of others, then pride will get in your way and prevent you from doing the right thing.
