The root of pride is saying that we can do without God.
James Montgomery Boice
Other sins are against God’s law, but pride is against God’s sovereignty.
Thomas Manton
1127Better to lose your pride than to lose your soul! Why be damned for pride’s sake? Why carry your head so high that it must be cut off? Why feed your pride on your soul’s blood? Surely there is cheaper stuff than that for pride to drink!—7.216
