When we look at field of corn, we
find those stalks which raise their heads
highest, are the emptiest. The same is
the case with men those who assume the
greatest consequence, have generally the
least share of judgment and ability.


There is no vice more insupportabIe
and more universally hated than pride
it is kind of poison, which corrupts all
good qualities of man, and whatever
merit he may otherwise possess, this sim
gle fault is sufficient to render him odious
and contemplate SO that pleasing him
self too much, he displeases every one
else. Pride is the first vice which takes
possession of the heart, because il derives
its source from self-love; and it isthe last
that remains, whatever efforts may be
made to expel it.
