Pride is a wound, and vanity is the scab on it. One's life picks at the scab to open the wound again and again. In men, it seldom heals and often grows septic.

Pride is the chalice into which all human sins are poured: it glitters and jingles and its arabesque lures your gaze, while your lips involuntarily touch the seductive beverage.

Vladimir Odoevsky

A man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress.

Pride may be allowed to this or that degree, else a man cannot keep up his dignity.
