President Dieter F. Uchtdorf spoke of Pride in the Priesthood session. Amongst other things he said: "In fact, it could be said that every other sin is, in essence, a manifestation of pride." Thus, pride is the root of all sin.
On the other hand we have President Monson's talk "The Divine Gift of Gratitude". Here President Monson says: "Someone has said that 'gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.'" (Cicero).
So we have Pride vs. Gratitude as the two foundations of Sin vs. Virtue. Consider this the next time you address any situation in your life...
TOTD: The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich. (President Ezra Taft Benson)
