Pride will spit in pride's face.

He that fears you present will hate you absent

All the world will beat the man whom fortune buffets

If an ass goes travelling he will not come home a horse.

Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers.

It is my PRIDE, my damn d, native, unconquerable Pride, that plunges me into Distraction. You must know that 19 --20th of my Composition is Pride. I must either live a Slave, a Servant; to have no Will of my own, no Sentiments of my own which I may freely declare as such; --or DIE --perplexing alternative!
