In general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes. All other
passions do occasionally good; but wherever pride puts in its word
everything goes wrong.
--John Ruskin.
He that is proud eats up himself: pride is his own glass, his own
trumpet, his own chronicle; and whatever praises itself but in the
deed, devours the deed in the praise.
--William Shakespeare.
Save me alike from foolish pride
Or impious discontent;
At aught Thy wisdom hath denied,
Or aught Thy wisdom lent.
--Alexander Pope.
A man's pride shall bring him low; But he that is of a lowly spirit
shall obtain honor.
--Proverbs 29. 23.
Heavenly Father, I pray that I may not let pride keep me down when it
may be mine to be carried to the heights. With tenderness take me out
of myself, that I may see how pride deceives, and destroys an humble
spirit. Help me to master both stubbornness and pride. Amen.
