"Pride will hurt you more than hunger, thirst or cold."
Thomas Jefferson
James 4:6 NASB1995
Pride: The inclination to look to yourself rather than the One who made you.
Humility: The willingness to recognize and defer to someone superior or more advanced.
Low self-esteem is as much a manifestation of pride as boastfulness.
Both reflect a preoccupation with self. One focuses on positives and the other on negatives.
