Quote

Doing something the right way is something I take pride in.

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

We rise in glory as we sink in pride.

We should be proud of our country when we have done something to be proud of, when we have lived up to our own standards. But the flip side of genuine pride is being able to recognize when we have fallen short, and to hold ourselves to account.

I believe that we must maintain pride in the knowledge that the actions we take, based on our own decisions and choices as individuals, link directly to the magnificent challenge of transforming human history.

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

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

We've all done actions in our lives where we compromise what we believe in. And if we keep doing it, there's no way back, no pride to hold on to.

We should learn to take genuine pride in a job well done and not expect praise for one simply carried out.

In general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.
