Search well and be wise, nor believe that self-willed pride will ever be better than good counsel.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A man's pride can be his downfall, and he needs to learn when to turn to others for support and guidance.
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.
Always follow good counsels.
If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.
Pride is ugly. It says, 'If you succeed, I am a failure.'
Essentially, pride is a 'my will' rather than 'thy will' approach to life.
I have a bit of pride, which is always my downfall.
If you truly want to succeed, you have to stay humble - humble or crumble - because it can all go away in the blink of an eye.
I think there's a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel.
Don't follow any advice, no matter how good, until you feel as deeply in your spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise.
