Guilt aims at self-destruction,
and pride aims at the destruction of others.
This is why I see humility for today
as that safe and secure stance midway between
these violent emotional extremes.
It is a quiet place where I can keep enough perspective,
and enough balance, to take my next small step
up the clearly marked road
that points toward eternal values.
- Bill W., June 1961.
The difference between pride and humility:
Pride is who is right.
Humility is what is right.
