" he exclaimed. " How much more of an animal than a spirit he must be to be charmed and en- slaved by this book! " Yet, what ground had he to conclude that because the sensual intoxicates Man, therefore Man is more sensual than spiritual? For we are most fatally attracted by what is most alien to us. * 83 WE MODERNS 52 Psychology of the Humble There is something very na'ive in those who speak of humility as a certain good and of pride as a proven evil. In the first place these are not opposites... at all; there are a hundred kinds of both, and humility is sometimes simply a refined form of pride. Humility may be pru- dence, or good taste, or timidity, or a conceal- ment, or a sermon, or a snub. How much of it, for instance, is simple prudence? Is not this, indeed, its chief utility, that it saves men from the dangers which accompany pride? On the day on which some one discovered that " Pride goeth before a fall, " humility became no mean virtue. For if one become the servant and pro- claim himself the least of all, how can he still fall?
