From Derech Emet
Chovot HaLevavot, Shaar Avodat HaElokim, chapter 4:
A pious man once said to his students:
If you had no sins, I would be worried about you
for something more severe than sins.
They said to him: What is worse than sins?!?!
He answered them: Arrogance and haughtiness, as is it written:
G_D DETESTS EVERY PERSON WITH AN ARROGANT HEART
(Mishlei / Proverbs, chapter 16, verse 5).
