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
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
ìYou may have enemies whom you hate, but not enemies whom you despise. You must be proud of your enemy: then the success of your enemy shall be your success too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And we were angry and poor and happy,And proud of seeing our names in print.
G.K. Chesterton
Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies.
Tyra Banks
Most men remember obligations, but are not often likely to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent
William Gilmore Simms
I will instruct my sorrows to be proud For grief is proud an't makes his owner stoop
William Shakespeare
Volunteerism is the voice of the people put into action. These actions shape and mold the present into a future of which we can all be proud.
Helen Dyer
Your families are extremely proud of you. You can't imagine the sense of relief they are experiencing. This would be a most opportune time to ask for money.
Gary Bolding
Poor nations are hungry, and rich nations are proud; and pride and hunger will ever be at variance.
Jonathan Swift
A man that is well ordered in his soul needeth little the unkind demeanor of worldly people nor yet their proud behavior.
Thomas a Kempis
Dignity of position adds to dignity of character, as well as to dignity of carriage. Give us a proud position, and we are impelled to act up to it.
Christian Nestell Bovee
Live according to the ethics of excellence, and you can always stand proud. Pride - not vanity, but dignity and self-respect - should carry a lot of weight in helping you make decisions. Let pride help you decide.
Price Pritchett
A brief candle,both ends burning An endless mile, a bus wheel turning A friend to share the lonesome times A handshake and a sip of wine So say it loud and let it ring We are all a part of everything The future, present and the past Fly on proud bird You're free at last
Charlie Daniels
