"To know a man, observe how he wins his object, rather than how he loses it; for when we fail our pride supports us; when we succeed, it betrays us."
Charles Caleb Colton"When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity."
Dale Carnegie"Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need."
Kahlil Gibran"The pride of youth is in strength and beauty, the pride of old age is in discretion."
Democritus"The typical American of today has lost all the love of liberty, that his forefathers had, and all their disgust of emotion, and pride in self- reliance. He is led no longer by Davy Crocketts; he is led by cheer leaders, press agents, word mongers, uplifters."
H L Mencken"To knock a thing down, especially if it is cocked at an arrogant angle, is a deep delight to the blood."
George Santayana"I like to think of my best moment on the job as quiet victories. Victories over what? Over the "system," over the various bureaucracies not watching me, over my colleagues' indifference, over my patron's ignorance, over the very concept of horn-blowing pride."
Paul Wiener"I'm in trouble because I'm normal and slightly arrogant. A lot of people don't like themselves and I happen to be totally in love with myself."
