Defining Pride

Pride is a killer of relationships, especially the relationship between us as believers and Christ.  I need a daily dose of humility and found it today in a quote from Augustine:


“Pride is the craving for undeserved glory.  And this is undeserved glory:  when the soul abandons the One it should cling to for sufficiency and becomes self reliant.” – Augustine, City of God, 14.13.

What are the significant quotes, both of Scripture and others that remind you to rely on God?  Leave yours in the comment box.  Like I said, I need a daily dose so your reminders will be helpful to me and hopefully to others.
