Pride that dines on vanity, sups on contempt
Benjamin Franklin
Pride is the master sin of the devil, and the devil is the father of lies
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
What is pride? A rocket that emulates the stars
William Wordsworth
He that is proud eats up himself; pride in his glass, his trumpet, his chronicle; and whatever praises itself but in the deed, devours the deed in the praise
William Shakespeare
One may be humble out of pride.
Michel de Montaigne
If you can once engage people's pride, love, pity, ambition (or whatever is their prevailing passion) on your side, you need not fear what their reason can do against you.
Lord Chesterfield
Pride makes us esteem ourselves; vanity desires the esteem of others.
Unknown
The infinitely little have a pride infinitely great.
Voltaire
By profession I am a Soldier and take pride in that fact, but I am prouder to be a father
Douglas MacArthur
Women love the lie that saves their pride, but never an unflattering truth
Gertrude Franklin Atherton
Pride slays thanksgiving, but an humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.
Henry Ward Beecher
Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and governments.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride will spit in pride's face.
Thomas Fuller
The truest characters of ignorance are vanity, and pride and arrogance.
Samuel Butler
