Patristic Quote for the Day

Thanks to Fr. Fenton for pointing us to an excellent sermon by Pope St. Leo the Great on his blog. My favorite line was this:

For the vice of pride is a near neighbour to good deeds, and arrogance ever lies in wait hard by virtue: because it is hard for him that lives praise-worthily not to be caught by man's praise unless, as it is written, "he that glorieth, glorieth in the Lord." - Homily for the First Sunday of the Fast
