“It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels”

Saint Augustine

Simplified Meaning:

When beings, like angels, become too proud and think they are better than others, they can turn evil or do bad things. Pride makes people behave badly and have a big ego. On the other hand, when people are humble, they stay kind and good. Humility means knowing your limits, listening to others, and not thinking you are the best. For example, famous leaders like Mahatma Gandhi stayed humble despite their power, and this made people love and respect them. So, in our lives, staying modest and humble can help us build better relationships and live peacefully.
