…the first self-conceited one was
Satan. A man must never consider himself greater than others. Rather, he must
always be humble and self-effacing. The bird, as long as it sees itself at a
low level, is given impetus to soar and progress; but the moment it fancies
itself high in the air, it begins to descend.
(Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, 24 Denver
1912, Lincoln, USA; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
