A man's pride can be his downfall, and he needs to learn when to turn to others for support and guidance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The proud man can learn humility, but he will be proud of it.
The truly proud man knows neither superiors or inferiors. The first he does not admit of - the last he does not concern himself about.
Pride deafens us to the advice or warnings of those around us.
Pride slays thanksgiving, but a humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.
I have come to the conclusion that it's a waste of time to have too much pride in anything. Perhaps it's good to have a sense of duty, a jealous zeal to protect or improve, but pride ultimately is only that which stands vulnerable to offense and degradation.
A man can get discouraged many times but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying.
Pride is ugly. It says, 'If you succeed, I am a failure.'
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 will give you a definition of a proud man: he is a man who has neither vanity nor wisdom one filled with hatreds cannot be vain, neither can he be wise.
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.
