Gate of Arrogance

  1. Arrogance is a base trait in most of its workings. It is the opposite of the trait of shame
    Orchot Tzadikim: Shaar Ha'Azut
  2. The man of shame overlooks offences, pities, pardons and forgives
    Orchot Tzadikim: Shaar Ha'Azut
  3. The arrogant man does not forgive and is not ashamed before anyone, but stands up with arrogance and rebellion against all men and commits evil deeds without shame, hardening himself in transgression
    Orchot Tzadikim: Shaar Ha'Azut
  4. Many evils are pulled along in the tow of arrogance, for when one is arrogant to others, one will not escape argument, hatred and envy
    Orchot Tzadikim: Shaar Ha'Azut
  5. One who is arrogant piles up mounds of transgressions and still considers himself righteous
    Orchot Tzadikim: Shaar Ha'Azut
