“Time and time again does the pride of man influence his very own fall. While denying it, one gradually starts to believe that he is the authority, or that he possesses great moral dominion over others, yet it is spiritually unwarranted. By that point he loses steam; in result, he falsely begins trying to prove that unwarranted dominion by seizing the role of a condemner.” MenTryingBelieveDoeFallLosesResultsMoralRolesInfluencePrideProveAuthorityDominionSteamSeizing Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“The market has a simple way of whittling all excessive pride and overblown egos down to size. After all, the whole idea is to be completely objective and recognize what the marketplace is telling you, rather than try to prove that the thing you said or did yesterday or six weeks ago was right. The fastest way to take a bath in the stock market or go broke is to try to prove that you are right and the market is wrong.” WayTryingSaidIdeasWholeSimpleWeekPrideProveEgoSixSizeYesterdayObjectivesBrokeBathsMarketplaceSimple WaysWhittlingExcessive Pride Author:William O'Neil

“The verb 'to darn' is explained in my pocket dictionary as follows: 'To mend by imitating the texture of the stuff, with thread and needle.' But this definition does not correspond to the work accomplished by good Chinese housewives. When they mend a sock, they do not try 'to imitate the texture of the stuff'. Their art makes no attempt at concealment: it even takes a certain pride in revealing itself.” TryingDoeArtCertainStuffPrideDefinitionsChineseAccomplishedPocketsThreadRevealingDictionaryTextureNeedlesSockVerbsHousewifeImitatingConcealment Author:Daniele Vare
“Actors, who should pride themselves on their singularity, are forever trying to be someone else.
