Pride goeth before a fall

Pride has no limitations. No matter what else is in progress pride continues on, undeterred by that which is within its environment. A poor man takes pride in his ability to overcome all obstacles, while a rich man takes pride in what he has gained, and the notorious man takes pride in the fear he instills in those around him. Where has pride stumbled, or faltered?

Pride started out all puffed up, full of itself, but soon found that it didn't lead to riches or good reputation.
This is the kind of pride that is basically egoism, not the kind that takes pleasure in a job well done.

Log onto Google.com and type in "Quotations." There are quite a few websites listed where you can narrow your quotation search by checking a couple for "pride."
Good luck - :)

datso_,
Proud people often find great success only to end up in a mess.
In other words, pride is not a good substitute for humility.
In other other words, pride often amounts to over confidence
