QUOTE OF THE DAY Ezra Taft Benson |
|
“Pride does not look up to God and care about what is right. It looks sideways to man and argues who is right. … “Pride is characterized by ‘What do I want out of life?’ rather than by ‘What would God have me do with my life?’ It is self-will as opposed to God’s will. It is the fear of man over the fear of God. “Humility responds to God’s will—to the fear of His judgments and to the needs of those around us. To the proud, the applause of the world rings in their ears; to the humble, the applause of heaven warms their hearts” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, p. 229).
