A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 29:23 Go To Proverbs 29
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Give me someone professing perpetual continence, and free from these and all similar vices and blemishes of conduct. For her I fear pride; for her I dread the swelling of selfconceit from so great a blessing. The more there is in her from which she finds selfcomplacence, the more I fear lest by pleasing herself she will displease him who “resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
