Wisdom of Saint Jean-Marie Vianney

"Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, when he was a student, if anyone found fault with him, he never tried to excuse himself on any occasion. If he was wrong, he deserved the correction. If he was right, he would say to himself, 'I have been wrong on other occasions, but was not corrected then,' and so he accept the 'correction' on this occasion."

--Saint Jean-Marie Vianney, "Instructions on Pride", in The Life of the Blessed Curé of Ars by the Abbé Alfred Monnin.
