About This Quote
All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride. Pride has many different forms. Most commonly, this pride shows itself in arrogance and the belief that you are better than other people. Pride can also show itself in selfishness or cruelty.
