None are more unjust in their judgments of others than those who have a high opinion of themselves.
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
No matter how dear you are to God, if pride is harbored in your spirit, He will whip it out of you. They that go up in their own estimation must come down again by His discipline.
There is nothing into which the heart of man so easily falls as pride, and yet there is no more vice which is more frequently, more emphatically, and more eloquently condemned in Scripture. Pride is a thing which should be unnatural to us, for we have nothing to be proud of. In almost every other sin, we gather us ashes when the fire is gone. But here, what is left? The covetous man has his shining gold, but what does the proud man have? He has less than he would have had without pride, and is no gainer whatever. Pride wins no crown.
A proud heart never praises God, for it hoards up praise for itself.
Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.
Pride may be set down as "the sin" of human nature.
