Pride adversely affects all our relationships — our relationship with God and His servants, between husband and wife, parent and child, employer and employee, teacher and student, and all mankind.

“At the end of each of our tails is a passage that will reveal to you the secrets of Time. One hall reflects a thousand truths, and the other hall reflects all that is untrue.
