Pride and Contention
Proverbs 13:10
Only by pride comes contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.


When pride and passion meet on both sides, it cannot but be that a fire will be kindled; when hard flints strike together, the sparks will fly about; but a soft, mild spirit is a great preserver of its own peace, kills the power of contests, as woolpacks, or such-like soft matter, most deaden the force of bullets.

(T. Leighton.)
