Pride/vanity

Famous quotes containing the words pride and/or vanity:

    We know, and it is our pride to know, that man is by his constitution a religious animal.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    Things said or done long years ago,
    Or things I did not do or say
    But though that I might say or do,
    Weigh me down, and not a day
    But something is recalled,
    My conscience or my vanity appalled.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
