Be proud Quote by J. C. Ryle

“Pride comes from not knowing yourself and the world. The older you grow, and the more you see, the less reason you will find for being proud. Ignorance and inexperience are the pedestal of pride; once the pedestal is removed - pride will soon come down.” quote by J. C. Ryle — Download Open image
