Quotes about Pride

- Absalom was vain about his hair, therefore was he hanged by his hair. Talmud
- An egotist is a man whose self-importance makes his mind shrink while his head swells.
- And the devil did grin, for his darling sin Is pride that apes humility. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
- In the final analysis our great problem with holiness is not that our concepts of holiness are feeble, but that our hearts are rebellious. We are selfish, that's our problem. And the fact that we often won't admit our selfishness shows how deep the pride goes. -- Floyd McClung
