Search well and be wise, nor believe that self-willed pride will ever be better than good counsel.

Aeschylus

Similar quotes

The problem isn't that I think so highly of myself. It is just that you think so little of yourself. Live life big, bold and out loud.

Shannon L. Alder

I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false and to incur my own abhorrence.

Frederick Douglas

Drop ego and listen. Empathize.

The infinitely little have a pride infinitely great.

Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life.

Bertrand Russell

Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man... It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition is gone, pride is gone.
