Famous quotes containing the word proud:

    You can be slum-born and slum-bred and still achieve something worth while; but it is a stupid inverted snobbishness to be proud of it. If one had a right to be proud of anything, it would be of a continued decent tradition back of one.
    Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    Earth laughs in flowers, to see her boastful boys
    Earth-proud, proud of the earth which is not theirs;
    Who steer the plough, but cannot steer their feet
    Clear of the grave.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Benjamin: Do you think I’m proud of myself? Do you think I’m proud of this?
    Mrs. Robinson: I wouldn’t know.
    Benjamin: Well, I’m not.
    Mrs. Robinson: You’re not?
    Benjamin: No, sir. I’m not proud that I spend my time with a broken-down alcoholic.
    Calder Willingham (1923–1995)
