A prophet is always underestimated, and part of what makes one a prophet is that he doesn't really mind it.

You can't let the truth bring out the worst and let it get the best of you.

Humility is, in a sense, admitting how egotistical you are.

There are two circumstances that lead to arrogance: one is when you're wrong and you can't face it; the other is when you're right and nobody else can face it.

When you're appeasing too much, you might be egotistically over-estimating everyone's need for your approval.

Time and time again does the pride of man influence his very own fall. While denying it, one gradually starts to believe that he is the authority, or that he possesses great moral dominion over others, yet it is spiritually unwarranted. By that point he loses steam; in result, he falsely begins trying to prove that unwarranted dominion by seizing the role of a condemner.
