About this Quote

George Gillespie's quote assesses the concept that extreme pride can lead to a corrupted judgment in people, making them follow a perverted course in the name of religion. The pride of life describes the desire for worldly possessions, status, and power, which triggers individuals to end up being narcissistic and disregard their spiritual and moral worths. This corruption of judgment then leads people to distort the real mentors of their faith and integrate their interests and prejudices into their beliefs, triggering them to wander off from the path of righteousness. Gillespie's quote functions as a warning versus pride and motivates individuals to remain modest and preserve their spiritual concepts to prevent corruption.
