A fair face may be a foul bargain. Young men should not be carried away with mere beauty, but look to character and disposition. One who marries a woman for her beauty alone is as foolish as the man who ate a bird because it sang so sweetly. Nothing is surer than that one haughty man will fall out with another. They will fight like Kilkenny cats.
Proud men hate pride in others.
Because it is a sort of defiance to their own pride. When once a man becomes a god to himself, he then becomes a devil to others. He is so lifted up with pride that he plays the tyrant. Because Nebuchadnezzar was so proud, he threw those into a fiery furnace who would not obey his will. Good to yourself, evil to others.
