7. Do not be proud & overbearing even though you have been blessed with the world's goods, or else adorned with fine gifts of personality. For God who has given them will again take them away from you, if you misuse these gifts of His in pride & disdain of your fellow man.
Even though you may possess a certain virtue that causes you to feel proud, by the same token you have so many bad habits & shortcomings which give you ample reason to appear small in your own eyes. He who knows himself will surely find enough of his own faults to make it difficult to justify thinking himself better than others.
