Confidence turns into pride only when you are in denial of your mistakes.

You can receive all the compliments in the world, but that won't do a thing unless you believe it yourself.

Of course, in our train of thought, we would all like to think we're on the right track, or at least the same railroad company as the right track.

The older you get, the more you understand how your conscience works. The biggest and only critic lives in your perception of people's perception of you rather than people's perception of you.

Pride is pride not because it hates being wrong, but because it loves being wrong: To hate being wrong is to change your opinion when you are proven wrong; whereas pride, even when proven wrong, decides to go on being wrong.

One is not necessarily made self-centered because he is foolish, but one is very often made foolish because he is self-centered.
