I asked AI for quotes on this:

St. Augustine (354-430):
“Pride is the commencement of all sin; and the beginning of pride is stubbornness.”

St. John Chrysostom (349-407):
“Nothing is so fatal to the soul as stubbornness. It closes the door to grace and makes repentance impossible.”

St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622):
“Stubbornness in error is worse than the error itself.”

St. Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787):
“The stubborn soul resists God’s will and clings to its own, thereby losing countless graces.”

St. Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582):
“Stubbornness in holding to our own opinions often leads us far from the truth God wishes to reveal.”

St. Vincent Ferrer (1350-1419):
“Obstinacy in sin is the certain road to perdition.”

St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153):
“A stubborn will is like a locked door—until it is opened to humility, God’s grace cannot enter.”

St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380):
“The stubborn heart, attached to its own judgment, builds a wall between itself and divine mercy.”

St. John Vianney (1786-1859):
“There is nothing more displeasing to God than a soul that is stubborn in its own will.”

FYI: Why "Stubborn?"
