Brian D. McLaren Quotes
I do know this about pride: pride is tiring, a cruel task-master, a complicator, a destroyer. Humility, in contrast, relaxes, refreshes, relieves, simplifies, renews.

Our pride forces us to take ourselves so seriously, which leads us to take others less seriously and God less seriously still.
