Pride
The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell.

- Gilbert, William S.
It is equally a mistake to hold one's self too high, or to rate one's self too cheap.
- Goethe, Johann Von

- Ruskin, John
There is not one wise man in twenty that will praise himself.
- Shakespeare, William
Ignorant of their ignorance, yet wise In their own esteem, these deluded men, Proud of their vain learning, go round and round Like the blind led by the blind. Far beyond Their eyes, hypnotized by the world of sense, Opens the way to immortality.
- Upanishads
What is pride? A whizzing rocket that would emulate a star.
- Wordsworth, William
