Stony...nice
This is not for homework my dear...perhaps you have defined haughty pride...thank you. This was for my own information and knowledge.
Perhaps you should look up "self awareness, compassion"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pride goes before a fall is an abbreviation of an ancient saying, or Proverb, designed to warn that often excessive pride will inevitably cause one to fall or fail. Another variant on this quotation is Pride comes before the fall.
Essentially, the tendency of excessive pride, or Hubris, to encourage one to assume abilities based on supposed success at other, possibly unrelated, activities.
The full text of Proverbs 16:18: "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall
