Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man.
It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.
Pride is like a magnet that draws scorn and ridicule; humility, on the other hand, is like a magnet that draws respect and admiration.
Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.
Pride is a personal commitment. It is an attitude which separates excellence from mediocrity.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.
It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you're looking down, you can't see something that's above you.
Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the only antidote to shame.
The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility.
