quotes by topic Pride

" We cannot free ourselves from pride and selfish ambition; a divine rescue is absolutely necessary. "

Ambition , Pride , Selfish

" Besides, we weren't made to battle villains, because there weren't any. No nation, creed, or race was any better or worse than another; all were flawed, all were equally doomed to suffering, mostly because they couldn't see that they were all alike. Mortals might have been contemptible, true, but not evil entirely. They did enjoy killing one another and frequently came up with ingenious excuses for doing so on a grand scale-religions, economic theories, ethnic pride-but we couldn't condemn them for it, as it was in their mortal natures and they were too stupid to know any better. "

Race , Pride , Stupid

" Pride is the oldest and most common of sins. Humility is the rarest and most beautiful of graces. "

" I would always rather be happy than dignified. "

Charlotte Bront

Love , Pride

" But struggling with these better feelings was pride,--the vice of the lowest and most debased creatures no less than of the high and self-assured. The miserable companion of thieves and ruffians, the fallen outcast of low haunts, the associate of the scourings of the jails and hulks, living within the shadow of the gallows itself,--even this degraded being felt too proud to betray a feeble gleam of the womanly feeling which she thought a weakness, but which alone conneced her with that humanity, of which her wasting life had obliterated so many, many traces when a very child. "

Charles Dickens
