“Does a man reproach thee for being proud or ill-natured, envious or conceited, ignorant or detracting? Consider with thyself whether his reproaches are true. If they are not, consider that thou art not the person whom he reproaches, but that he reviles an imaginary being, and perhaps loves what thou really art, though he hates what thou appearest to be.” IfsMenPersonsDoeArtHateProudIllIgnorantTheeImaginaryBe ProudThyselfEnviousReproachConceitedPerhaps Love Author:Epictetus

“You should be proud of what you're doing, but not conceited. If you can't be proud of yourself, you're a failure. And discipline. To do anything in life you have to have discipline. To accomplish anything, you have a goal, challenge yourself, and work until you accomplish that goal. Practice what you preach.” IfsShouldGoalChallengesPracticeProudDisciplineAccomplishBe ProudConceitedProud Of YouAnything In LifeChallenge YourselfProud Of YourselfPractice What You PreachBe Proud Of Yourself Author:Jack LaLanne
“All I want to say to people, man, is, "Yo, you see me walking down the street and I got a little bop in my walk, don't think because I've got a bop in my walk I'm trying to be all that. The bop in my walk is because I'm just like you, man. I bop when I walk." Know what I'm saying? I'm proud. If you see me smiling, standing straight up, gold around my neck, it's not because I'm conceited. It's because I'm proud of what I achieved. I made this. I worked hard for this. That's all this is about.” PeopleThinkingMenTryingLike YouProudWalkingGoldConceitedStraight Up Author:LL Cool J
