Pride

Don't Be Like The Devil

"Realize how evil pride is from the very fact that there is no excuse for it. Other vices harm only those who commit them. Pride inflicts far more injury on everyone. I am saying all this lest you consider pride a trifling sin. What, in fact, does the apostle say? 'Lest he incur the condemnation passed on the devil' (1 Tim 3:6). The man who is puffed up with his own importance falls into the judgment of the devil." -- St. Jerome, Homilies 95
