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

I don't know why you should be proud of something. It doesn't make you any better or worse. You are what you are.

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

Pride is about the ugliest trait somebody can have.

Pride is a thing that I have tried to abandon completely. Try as I might, pride still creeps into many of the things I do.

Pride is an independent, me-oriented spirit. It makes people arrogant, rude and hard to get along with. When our heart is prideful, we don't give God the credit and we mistreat people, looking down on them and thinking we deserve what we have.

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.

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 am proud, but I'm annoyed with myself for not believing in myself enough.
