Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.

Swallowing your pride occasionally will never cause indigestion

The big print giveth, and the fine print taketh away.

The proud man counts his newspaper clippings, the humble man his blessings.

Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving? Show me your feet. Are they wounded in service? Show me your heart. Have you left a place for divine love?

Scepticism is never certain of itself, being less a firm intellectual position than a pose to justify bad behavior.
