A friend of mine (John), sent this quote to me by Chesteron, and I really liked it.

It is good to remember to not take yourself too seriously.

G.K. Chesterton said:
Angels fly because of they can take themselves lightly. . .
Pride is the downward drag of all things into an easy solemnity. . .
It is easy to be heavy: hard to be light. Satan fell by the force of gravity.
So we sit perhaps in a starry chamber of silence, while the laughter of the heavens is too loud for us to hear.
Joy… is the gigantic secret of the Christian.
