Pride is the sworn enemy of content.
Pride may lurk under threadbare coat.
The nobler tho blood, the less the pride.
A proud look makes foul work of fair

You gazed at the moon and fell into the

Pride leaves home on horseback, but re-

A man may have just esteem of him

Pride sleeps In gilded crown, content

Pride goeth before destruction and a

And the devil did grin, for his darling
sin is pride that apes humility.
A little dog, a COW without horns and

Of prosperity will bend beneath the first
