The truest characters of ignorance are vanity, and pride and arrogance.
Samuel Butler
Pride will spit in pride's face.
Thomas Fuller
Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and governments.
Benjamin Franklin
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
Women love the lie that saves their pride, but never an unflattering truth
Gertrude Franklin Atherton
By profession I am a Soldier and take pride in that fact, but I am prouder to be a father
Douglas MacArthur
The infinitely little have a pride infinitely great.
Voltaire

Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.
Sheen, Fulton John
Pride is still aiming at the best houses: Men would be angels, angels would be gods. Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell; aspiring to be angels men rebel.
Alexander Pope
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
One may be humble out of pride.
Michel de Montaigne
