"The honour of the world makes us attribute to ourselves all that we do and ends by setting us upon pedestals like little gods.Well, proud and self-comlplacent soul, thus deifed by the honour of the world, see how the Eternal, the Living God abases Himself in order to confound you! Man makes himself god through pride, God makes Himself man through humility! Man falsely attributes to himself what belongs to God; and God, in order to teach him to humble himself, takes what belongs to man.
This is the remedy of insolence! This alone can confound the honour of the world - that Hill of Calvary, that Cross of shame, Jesus CHRIST the Incarnate God, our Pattern, our Master, our King."
Jacques Benigne Boussuet (17th Century French Priest and Court Preacher at Versaille. Considered the greatest orator France had ever known. He preached powerfullly and uncompromisingly these type of messages to the nobility and even King Louis himself)
