(SEE 6:16)

Pride leads to destruction, and arrogance to downfall.

No one is respected unless he is humble; arrogant people are on the way to ruin.

A conceited fool is sure to get a beating.

Haman was furious when he realized that Mordecai was not going to kneel and bow to him,

and when he learned that Mordecai was a Jew, he decided to do more than punish Mordecai alone. He made plans to kill every Jew in the whole Persian Empire.

The end of something is better than its beginning. Patience is better than pride.

Keep your temper under control; it is foolish to harbor a grudge.

When Herod realized that the visitors from the East had tricked him, he was furious. He gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its neighborhood who were two years old and younger---this was done in accordance with what he had learned from the visitors about the time when the star had appeared.
