“As for what I have done as a poet, I take no pride in whatever. Excellent poets have lived at the same time with me, poets more excellent lived before me, and others will come after me. But that in my country I am the only person who knows the truth in the difficult science of colors-of that, I say, I am not a little proud, and here have a consciousness of superiority to many.” KnowsLittlesPersonsCountryDoneDifficultConsciousnessColorPoetPrideProudExcellentSuperiority Author:Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“It is a poor thing to strike our colors to God when the ship is going down under us; a poor thing to come to Him as a last resort, to offer up 'our own' when it is no longer worth keeping. If God were proud He would hardly have us on such terms: but He is not proud, He stoops to conquer, He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to Him.” IfsLastsTermPoorColorProudOffersStrikesShipsConquerResortsStoops Author:C.

“Should I not be proud, when for twenty years I have had to admit to myself that the great Newton and all the mathematicians and noble calculators along with him were involved in a decisive error with respect to the doctrine of color, and that I among millions was the only one who knew what was right in this great subject of nature?” ShouldYearsMillionsSubjectsColorProudInvolvedTwentiesErrorsNobleDoctrineShould IMathematicianBe ProudNewtonCalculators Author:Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“I was very proud and grateful to be the first African-American woman in the position. I thought it said a lot about our country that we had back-to-back African-American Secretaries of State, Colin Powell and then me. I also thought it said a lot about President Bush that he didn't see limits on the highest ranking diplomat in terms of color. It's a hard job, but really the best one in government.” FirstsSaidCountryHardStatesGovernmentJobsPresidentTermPositionColorProudLimitsHighestGratefulOur CountryAfrican AmericanSecretaryPresident BushDiplomatsAmerican WomanRankingAfrican American Women Author:Condoleezza Rice
