Pride/vanity

Famous quotes containing the words pride and/or vanity:

    I laugh at the lore and pride of man
    At the sophist schools, and the learned clan;
    For what are they all, in their high conceit,
    When man in the bush with God may meet?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Our vanity is hardest to wound precisely when our pride has just been wounded.
