“If a child who had been very strictly brought up were to study in a class together with others, would it not be strange to say that his diligence, etc., was pride, even if it were the case that the others could not keep up with him? But such a case seldom occurs, for then the child is moved up to a higher class. But, unfortunately, for one who is in many ways developed for eternity’s class there exists only one class, that of the temporal order, where perhaps he must remain a long while.”
