Best Quotes about Pride

1.
To find yourself jilted is a blow to your pride. Do your best to forget it and if you don't succeed, at least pretend to.
Moliere

2.
I am done with great things and big plans, great institutions and big success.

James, William

I have lived long enough to satisfy both nature and glory.
Caesar, Julius

15.
You cannot hold your head high with your hand out.
Proverb, Yiddish

We should be ashamed of our pride, but never proud of our shame.

17.
Whoever shall exalt himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
Bible

18.
To be proud and inaccessible is to be timid and weak.
Masillon, Jean Baptiste

Charles Caleb Colton

The last time I saw him he was walking down lover's lane holding his own hand.
Allen, Fred A.

Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.
Sheen, Fulton John

31.
Pride perceiving humility honorable, often borrows her cloak.
Fuller, Thomas
