What makes people weak? Their need for validation and recognition, their need to feel Important. Don't get caught in this trap.

Pride is an independent, me-oriented spirit. It makes people arrogant, rude and hard to get along with. When our heart is prideful, we don't give God the credit and we mistreat people, looking down on them and thinking we deserve what we have.

The ego is not master in its own house.

If I despised myself, it would be no compensation if everyone saluted me, and if I respect myself, it does not trouble me if others hold me lightly.

Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.

Rainer Maria Rilke

When you criticize someone, see if you are doing it out of envy. Your criticism reveals more about yourself than you realize.
