Pharisees vs Publican

President Hunter explains the the story and ends with the quote below.
Quote/Principle
Humility vs Pride. Stop and ponder which describes you?
Humility is an attribute of godliness possessed by true Saints. It is easy to understand why a proud man fails. He is content to rely upon himself only. This is evident in those who seek social position or who push others aside to gain position in fields of business, government, education, sports, or other endeavors. Our genuine concern should be for the success of others. The proud man shuts himself off from God, and when he does he no longer lives in the light. ... From the beginning of time there have been those with pride and others who have followed divine admonition to be humble. History bears record that those who have exalted themselves have been abased, but the humble have been exalted. On every busy street there are Pharisees and publicans. It may be that one of them bears our name. Howard W. Hunter; April 1984, General Conference

There are two sides what kind of person will I be, with God or against Him.
