“Man may think human intellect and reasoning are almighty, that the brain is able to comprehend all truths of the world; but the verdict of God's Word is, "vanity of vanities.”
“....to abuse the intellect for reasons of pride, vanity, or escape from responsibility, is the fruit of that same tree.”
“The first step in conforming our intellect to God's truth is to die to our vanity, pride, and craving for respect from colleagues and the public. We must let go of the worldly motivations that drive us, praying to be motivated solely by a genuine desire to submit our minds to God's Word - and then to use that knowledge in service to others.”
“My intellect was my greatest vanity.”
“All that is in the world is vanity except to love God and serve him only.”
“vanity, vanity, all is vanity”
