do not overrate yourself

"The humble man, is ever the patient man. Pride is the source of irregular and sinful passions. A lofty spirit, will be an unyielding and peevish spirit. When we overrate ourselves--we think that we are treated unworthily, that our trials are too severe--thus we cavil and repine. ...you should have such thoughts of yourself as would put a stop to these murmurings. You should have lower and more humiliating views of yourself than any other one can have of you! Get humility--and you will have peace, whatever you trial is!"
