| Quote of the moment |
| No matter who we are with, we often think things like "I am stronger then he," "I am more beautiful than she," "I am more intelligent," "I am wealthier," "I am much better qualified," and so forth - we generate much pride. This is not good. Instead, we should always remain humble. Even when we are helping others and are engaged in charity work, we should not regard ourselves in a very haughty way as great protectors benefitting the weak. |
