The Confessions Of Saint Augustine by St. Augustine

Chapter XXXVIII Yet the word which cometh out of the mouthà

It tempts, even when it is reproved by myself in myself, on the very ground that it is reproved; and often glories more vainly of the very contempt of vain-glory; and so it is no longer contempt of vain-glory, whereof it glories; for it doth not contemn when it glorieth.
