“There are very few arrogant people who would like to have their arrogance visible. They with all their might reject reproaches from themselves for this. But, worst of all, they themselves do not admit this sin to themselves. And this is where the most terrible power of this most insidious of all diseases is rooted. A proud person is always insincere and hypocritical. They themselves do not admit this sin to themselves. And this is where the most terrible power of this most insidious of all diseases is rooted.”
(St Varnava Nastic, article on pride)
