QUOTE OF THE DAY

       It is very common for a man to look upon himself as wiser and better than other men, and as fit to dictate to them. Such a one deceives himself; by pretending to what he has not, he puts a cheat upon himself, and sooner or later will find the sad effects. This will never gain esteem, either with God or men. Every one is advised to prove his own work. The better we know our own hearts and ways, the less shall we despise others, and the more be disposed to help them under infirmities and afflictions.

Therefore, self-conceit, the chief hindrance to forbearance and sympathy towards our fellow men, must be laid aside. 
(ref-Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary and Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary)

With these words, start your day.
