Wise People Learn from Others

Where there is pride, all want to lead and none want to follow or to agree. Hence is the cause of schisms, apostasies, arrogant usurpation, and other forms of imposition. Hence also is the cause of ineffective ministry of far too many ministers who are simply too proud to learn. ... Humility should teach us to learn willingly everything we do not know. For if we would be wiser than all, then we must be willing to learn from all. For they who receive from all will be richer.
