Pride – select quotes
Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. We say that people are proud of being rich, or clever, or good-looking, but they are not. They are proud of being richer, or cleverer, or better-looking than others. If every one else became equally rich, or clever, or good-looking there would be nothing to be proud about. It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest.”
~ C.S. Lewis, in Mere Christianity
The truth is this—pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.
~ Andrew Murray
Pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.
~ John Ruskin
Man was created on the sixth day. If ever he is filled with pride, it can be said to him: A flea preceded thee in creation.
~ Talmud, Sanhedrin, 37
