Self-admiration
is the beginning of pride. Pride is dissipated self-admiration.
Those who do not hate their own selfishness, their
placing of themselves higher than the rest of the world, are blind, because
this action contradicts the truth.
— Blaise Pascal
The lighter and
less dense a substance is, the less space it occupies. The qualities which a
proud person attributes to himself can be compared to this.
There are many people who claim to be teachers of
others who should themselves be taught first of all.
— Eastern Wisdom
The most
important thing in life is the path to perfection, and what kind of perfection can
exist if a person is proud and satisfied with himself?
