Pride Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Pride

1.
I am done with great things and big plans, great institutions and big success. I am for those tiny, invisible loving human forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, which, if given time, will rend the hardest monuments of pride.
James, William

Bernanos, Georges

You cannot hold your head high with your hand out.
Proverb, Yiddish

4.
Swallow your pride occasionally, it's not fattening.
Tyger, Frank

5.
It is my PRIDE, my damned, native, unconquerable Pride, that plunges me into Distraction. You must know that 19 - 20th of my Composition is Pride. I must either live a Slave, a Servant; to have no Will of my own, no Sentiments of my own which I may freely declare as such; --or DIE --perplexing alternative!
Chatterton, Thomas

9.
Of all the marvelous works of God, perhaps the one angels view with the most supreme astonishment, is a proud man.
Colton, Charles Caleb

Pride, like laudanum and other poisonous medicines, is beneficial in small, though injurious in large quantities. No man who is not pleased with himself, even in a personal sense, can please others.
Saunders, Frederick

11.
Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold.
Jefferson, Thomas

12.
If I had only one sermon to preach it would be a sermon against pride.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

Pride is the mask of one's own faults.
Proverb, Jewish

14.
There are two sides to every question: my side and the wrong side.
Levant, Oscar

He that toucheth pitch shall be defiled therewith; and he that hath fellowship with a proud man shall be like unto him. [Ecclesiasticus 13:1]
Bible

Whoever shall exalt himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
Bible

God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble [James 4:6]
Bible

18.
Pride is a powerful narcotic, but it doesn't do much for the auto-immune system.
Stuart Stevens

19.
Where there are no tigers, a wild cat is very self-important.
Proverb, Korean

20.
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.
Lewis, C. S.

21.
If one takes pride in one's craft, you won't let a good thing die. Risking it through not pushing hard enough is not a humility.
Keating, Paul

22.
I would not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well.
Thoreau, Henry David

Pope, Alexander

24.
A self-made man? Yes, and one who worships his creator.
Cowper, William

The pride of youth is in strength and beauty, the pride of old age is in discretion.
Democritus

I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. [Luke 16:3]
Bible

27.
There is nothing that will kill a man so soon as having nobody to find fault with but himself.
Eliot, George

28.
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.
Pope, Alexander

Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and governments.
Franklin, Benjamin

Pride perceiving humility honorable, often borrows her cloak.
Fuller, Thomas

Franklin, Benjamin
