“Love is a very contradiction of all the elements of our ordinary nature -- it makes the proud man meek -- the cheerful, sad -- the high-spirited, tame; our strongest resolutions, our hardiest energy fail before it. Believe me, you cannot prophesy of its future effect in a man from any knowledge of his past character.” MenBelieveCharacterPastEnergyLove IsFailingEffectsProudElementsOrdinaryContradictionResolutionStrongestBelieve In MeCheerfulMeekSpiritedProud Man Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
“They find seven cornices on which penitent and redeemed sinners are cleansed by the grace of God. On the first cornice, that of Pride, the proud are learning humility: Our Father, dwelling in the Heavens, nowise As circumscribed, but as the things above, Thy first effects, are dearer in Thine eyes, Hallowed Thy name be and the Power thereof, By every creature, as right meet it is We praise the tender effluence of Thy love. Let come to us, let come Thy kingdom's peace.” FirstsEyeFatherNamesHeavenPeaceGraceEffectsHumilityPrideProudCreaturesPraiseSevenKingdomsSinnerGrace Of GodOur FatherDwellingRedeemed Author:Dante Alighieri
