"I have seen pride lead to humility. And I remembered him who said: Who hath known the mind of the Lord? The pit and offspring of conceit is a fall; but a fall is often an occasion of humility for those who are willing to use it to their advantage."-– St. John Climacus
And another reason to cry, Glory to God for all things!

Speaking of "Glory to God for All Things," an excellent, excellent blog named after the same phrase can be found here, or also through the link on the sidebar of my blog.
More quotes from St. John:
"Some labor and struggle hard to earn forgiveness, but better than these is the man who forgets the wrongs done to him. Forgive quickly and you will be abundantly forgiven. To forget wrongs is to prove oneself truly repentant, but to brood on them and at the same time to imagine one is practicing repentance is to act like the man who is convinced he is running when in fact he is fast asleep."
