When we early AAs got our first glimmer
of how spiritually prideful we could be,
we coined this expression:
"Don't try to get too damned good by Thursday!"
That old-time admonition may look like
another of those handy alibis
that can excuse us from trying our best.
Yet a closer view reveals just the contrary.
This is our way of warning against pride-blindness,
and the imaginary perfections we do not possess.
- Bill W., June 1961.
