For modern man, ... pride reveals itself in impatience, which is an unwillingness to bear the pain of discipline. ... In effect his becomes a deification of his own will; man is not making himself like a god but is taking himself as he is and putting himself in the place of God. Richard Weaver
Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you can not bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are beyond that pain. Kahlil Gibran
