Pride Quotes

All the world wondered as they witnessed... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride.

Corazn Cojuangco Aquino

Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with infamy.

Benjamin Franklin

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

Wounded vanity knows when it is mortally hurt and limps off the field, piteous, all disguises thrown away. But pride carries its banner to the last and fast as it is driven from one field unfurls it in another, never admitting that there is a shade less honor in the second field than in the first, or in the third than in the second.

Helen Hunt Jackson

Pride sullies the noblest character.

Claudianus

Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks.

Joe Paterno

Pride, like laudanun 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
