Where there is simplicity, there are a hundred Angels, but where there is cleverness - there are none.

God Himself heals the proud. This means that inner sorrows (by which pride is healed) are sent to us by God, for the proud man will not suffer anything from others. But the humble person will endure everything, and will always say, 'I deserve this.'
