Pride, which inspires us with so much envy, is sometimes of use toward the moderating of it too.

There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.

Pride is a sin that can readily be seen in others but is rarely admitted in ourselves.

Pride is essentially competitive in nature. We pit our will against God's.

I don't do pride. It seems to me to be a very unpleasant thing.

Pride is not the worst of sins. In fact, it's one of the most interesting ones.

Most of us think of pride as self-centeredness, conceit, boastfulness, arrogance, or haughtiness. All of these are elements of the sin, but the heart, or core, is still missing. The central feature of pride is enmity - enmity toward God and enmity toward our fellowmen.

At some point, the pride has to be a part of the whole day-to-day oeuvre. It's part of who you are and doesn't need to be discussed anymore.

I have a bit of pride, which is always my downfall.
