Tao Bible - Proverbs 16:19

Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
~ King James version ~

If the sage would guide the people, he must serve with humility.
If he would lead them, he must follow behind.
~ from Verse 66 of the Tao Te Ching ~
Pride springs from an inflated ego. When we are so filled with ourselves, it pushes everything else away. We lose our sense of connection with the divine. We lose our step along the path.
