John Wesley Quotes About Pride

Quotes about: Pride

• It is the Spirit that sheds the love of God abroad in their hearts, and the love of all mankind; thereby purifying their hearts from the love of the world, from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life.

• Purge me from every sinful blot;
  My idols all be cast aside:
  Cleanse me from every evil thought,
  From all the filth of self and pride.
  
  The hatred of the carnal mind
  Out of my flesh at once remove:
  Give me a tender heart, resigned,
  And pure, and full of faith and love.
