Results from Poor Man's College:

Pride is the common forerunner of a fall. It was the devil's sin, and the devil's ruin; and has been, ever since, the devil's stratagem, who, like as expert wrestler, usually gives a man a lift before he gives a throw.: South
Pride, like laudanun and other poisonous medicines, is beneficial in small, though injurious in large quantities. No man who is not pleased with himself, even in a personal sense, can please others.: Frederick Saunders
Pride does not wish to owe and vanity does not wish to pay.: Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)
Pride is seldom delicate; it will please itself with very mean advantages.: Johnson
There is no cure for the pride of a virtuous nation but pure religion.: Reinhold Niebuhr (1892 - 1971)
Pride the first peer and president of hell.: Daniel Defoe
Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with infamy.: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
There is a diabolical trio existing in the natural man, implacable, inextinguishable, co-operative and consentaneous, pride, envy, and hate; pride that makes us fancy we deserve all the goods that others possess; envy that some should be admired while we are overlooked; and hate, because all that is bestowed on others, diminishes the sum we think due to ourselves.: C. C. Colton
Pride defeats its own end, by bringing the man who seeks esteem and reverence into contempt.: Henry Bolingbroke
We hear much of a decent pride, a becoming proud, a noble pride, a laudable pride. Can that be decent, of which we ought to be ashamed? Can that be becoming, of which God has set forth the deformity? Can that be noble which God resists and is determined to abase? Can that be laudable, which God call abominable.: Robert Cecil
