Do not believe in yourself until the day you die
— from The Landing (Death) · Maharal of Prague Pirkel Avos: A Commentary based on selections from Maharal's Derech Chai
In the book
Both are correctable with practice. One more, quieter instruction, because pride is a danger right up to the end: do not be too sure of yourself, and do not fully trust your own righteousness, until the day you die. To my children, and to theirs: — The Landing (Death)
The most dangerous lies of my life were never told to me; they were told by me, to me, and I believed them because I wanted to. So I have tried, as I have gotten older, to hold even my firmest convictions a little more loosely — and our own sages say it plainly: do not fully trust yourself until the day you die. To change your mind in the face of better evidence is not weakness. — The Mind in the Cockpit
