Pride Changes Men into Devils
A man's pride shall bring him low,
but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.
- Proverbs 29:23

There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long,
and the great charm of all power is modesty.

It was pride that changed angels into devils;
it is humility that makes men as angels.
- Saint Augustine
Conceit is bragging about yourself.
Confidence means you believe you can get the job done.
- Johnny Unitas

The ego cannot survive without judgment.
