Wall Pride Sides

More From Bob Dylan

The walls between old allies on either side of the atlantic cannot stand. the walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. the walls between races and tribes; natives and immigrants; christian and muslim and jew cannot stand. these now are the walls we must tear down. we know they have fallen before.
Inspiring Christian Country
Countless candles dribbled with hot wax, and their flames, like little flags, fluttered in the unchartered currents of air. thousands of lamps, naked, or shuttered behind coloured glass, burned with their glows of purple, amber, grass-green, blue, blood red and even grey. the walls of gormenghast were like the walls of paradise or like the walls of an inferno. the colours were devilish or angelical according to the colour of the mind that watched them. they swam, those walls, with the hues of hell, with the tints of zion. the breasts of the plumaged seraphim; the scales of satan.
Wall Purple Glasses
High in the air rises the forest of oaks, high over the oaks soar the eagle, high over the eagle sweep the clouds, high over the clouds gleam the stars... high over the stars sweep the angels.
Stars Angel Clouds
The vice i am talking of is pride or self-conceit: and the virtue opposite to it, in christian morals, is called humility...according to christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is pride. unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea bites in comparison: it was through pride that the devil became the devil: pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-god state of mind.
Christian Teacher Inspiration
Give people pride and they'll live on bread and water, bless their exploiters, and even die for them. self-surrender is a transaction of barter: we surrender our sense of human dignity, our judgement, or moral and aesthetic sense for pride. if there is pride in being free, we are ready to die for liberty. if there is pride to be derived from an identification with a leader, we grovel in the dust before a napoléon, hitler or stalin and are ready to die for him. if there is a distinction in suffering we search for martyrdom as for hidden treasure.
Pride Self Dust
Just as meekness is in all our virtues, so is pride in all our sins. whatever its momentary and alluring guise, pride is the enemy, "the first of the sins." one reason to be particularly on guard against pride is that "the devilish strategy of pride is that it attacks us, not in our weakest points, but in our strongest. it is preeminently the sin of the noble mind." not only of the noble mind, but also of the semi-righteous.
Pride Mind Enemy
Similar Quotes
Just because you are embarrassed to admit that you're still living the consequences of bad decisions made 5, 10, 20 years ago shouldn't stop you from making good decisions now. if you let pride stop you, you will hate life 5, 10, and 20 years from now for the same reasons.
Change Hate Pride
If you wish to be loved, be modest; if you wish to be admired, be proud; if you wish both, combine external modesty with internal pride.
Love Pride Wish
Pride does not wish to owe and vanity does not wish to pay.
Pride Vanity Wish
Catch {a man} at the moment when he is really poor in spirit and smuggle into his mind the gratifying reflection, "by jove, i'm being humble," and almost immediately pride - pride at his own humility - will appear.
