Appearances Corrected

Εἰ καὶ κρύπτεις τὸ ἤττημα, ἀλλὰ φαίνῃ φυσώμενος πέρα καὶ τοῦ γένους, καὶ τῆς ἰσχύος, καὶ τῆς ἀξίας σου φρυαττόμενος. Ἢ τοίνυν σύμμετρον σαυτῷ κτῆσαι φρόνημα, ἢ ἴσθι παρὰ πάντων γελώμενος. Ἅγιος Ἰσίδωρος Του Πηλουσιώτου, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολή ΙΒ’ Ἄμμονιῳ Source: Migne PG 78.188a

Even if you hide what is worst, yet you appear puffed up because of your lineage and your strength and your lofty arrogance. Either, then, have a mind that is appropriate to yourself, or be ridiculous to everyone. Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Book 1, Letter 12 To Ammonius 1 Levit 23.3
