So if you want to get rid of pride, you should not think that you can do so by dressing in a certain way or speaking with pious words, but seek God that He would purify your heart from pride, and then assuredly, if pride is purged from your heart, your life also will be humble. Make the tree good, and the fruit will be good (Matthew 12:33). Make the fountain pure, and the stream will be sweet.
