O God of earth and altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride. – G. K. Chesterton

Where there are no tigers, a wild cat is very self-important. – Proverb

If I had only one sermon to preach it would be a sermon against pride. – G. K. Chesterton

Pride and poverty dont get along, but often live together. – Proverb
