“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.”
Frederick Saunders
“Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man.”
C.S. Lewis
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way.”
Pablo Neruda
“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
“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.”
“One of the best temporary cures for pride and affection is seasickness; a man who wants to vomit never puts on airs.”
Josh Billings
“All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner!"”
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
