Intellectual Pride Quotes

“I happened to be in the right place at the right time.”

“The ministers are in duty bound to denounce all intellectual pride, and show that we are never quite so dear to God as when we admit that we are poor, corrupt and idiotic worms; that we never should have been born; that we ought to be damned without the least delay....

They insist that the best man god ever made, deserved to be damned the moment he was finished.”
