Quote

Is pride, the never-failing vice of fools.

A portion of mankind take pride in their vices and pursue their purpose; many more waver between doing what is right and complying with what is wrong.

We do not despise all those who have vices, but we do despise those that have no virtue.

As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.

The disgrace of others often keeps tender minds from vice.

Pride deafens us to the advice or warnings of those around us.

Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.

Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.

A man's pride can be his downfall, and he needs to learn when to turn to others for support and guidance.

The truly proud man knows neither superiors or inferiors. The first he does not admit of - the last he does not concern himself about.
