Quote by John C. Maxwell

When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff, stubborn, and creates strife with others.

When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff

Summary

This quote suggests that having an excessive amount of pride internally can lead to negative consequences in our interactions with others. When we are consumed by pride, it can make us inflexible and unwilling to compromise or consider different perspectives. This rigid mindset often leads to conflicts and arguments, as we become more focused on defending our ego rather than fostering harmony and understanding. Therefore, the quote implies that excessive pride hinders our ability to build healthy and cooperative relationships.

The writer has a grudge against society, which he documents with accounts of unsatisfying sex, unrealized ambition, unmitigated loneliness, and a sense of local and global distress. The square, overpopulation, the bourgeois, the bomb and the cocktail party are variously identified as sources of the grudge. There follows a little obscenity here, a dash of philosophy there, considerable whining overall, and a modern satirical novel is born.

A miracle, my friend, is an event which creates faith. That is the purpose and nature of miracles. Frauds deceive. An event which creates faith does not deceive: therefore it is not a fraud, but a miracle.
