Desire is to the soul what gravitation is to matter. When we know our desires, we know the direction our soul is taking. If the desire is heavenly, we go upwards. If it is wholly early, we go downwards. Desire is like raw material out of which we fashion either our virtues or vices.

Proud people think of themselves to be better than they are, and when criticized always believe their neighbor is jealous or has a grudge against them. The humble know themselves as they really are, for they judge themselves as they judge time, by a standard outside themselves, namely, God and His Moral Law.

Humble people are not rigid extractors of thins to which they have not undoubted right; they are always ready to overlook the faults of others, knowing that they have so many themselves.
