Highlights of Life

Here is a quote from him that makes one think:

Reject the thought that you are better than anyone else. If you think such haughty thoughts, God (who knows what is in you) will consider you worse than they. …It will not hurt you to consider yourself less righteous than others, but it will be disastrous for you to consider yourself better than even one person. The humble are always at peace; the proud are often envious and angry.

Don’t think that you have made any progress at all until you see less virtue in yourself than in anybody else.
