The parent of numberless sins?

(Newman Hall, "Follow Jesus")

Pride is the parent of numberless sins.

High notions of what we deserve
from God, or from men, produce . . .
  impatience,
  discontent,
  envy,
  anger,
  strife, and
  all uncharitableness.

Lord, give me a humble heart. Conscious
that I deserve nothing good from You, may
I receive joys with thankfulness, and sorrows
with submission.
