More From William Shakespeare

It would be an endless battle if it were all up to ego because it does not destroy and is not destroyed by itself it is like a wave it makes itself up, it rushes forward getting nowhere really it crashes, withdraws and makes itself up again pulls itself together with pride towers with pride rushes forward into imaginary conquest crashes in frustration withdraws with remorse and repentance pulls itself together with new resolution
Pride Frustration Ego
Pride may be allowed to this or that degree, else a man cannot keep up dignity. in gluttony there must be eating, in drunkenness there must be drinking; 'tis not the eating, and 'tis not the drinking that must be blamed, but the excess. so in pride.

Tis true, 'tis day; what though it be? o wilt thou therefore rise from me? why should we rise, because 'tis light? did we lie down, because 'twas night? love which in spite of darkness brought us hither should in despite of light keep us together.

Give people pride and they'll live on bread and water, bless their exploiters, and even die for them. self-surrender is a transaction of barter: we surrender our sense of human dignity, our judgement, or moral and aesthetic sense for pride. if there is pride in being free, we are ready to die for liberty. if there is pride to be derived from an identification with a leader, we grovel in the dust before a napoléon, hitler or stalin and are ready to die for him. if there is a distinction in suffering we search for martyrdom as for hidden treasure.
Pride Self Dust
The vice i am talking of is pride or self-conceit: and the virtue opposite to it, in christian morals, is called humility...according to christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is pride. unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea bites in comparison: it was through pride that the devil became the devil: pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-god state of mind.
Christian Teacher Inspiration
Just as meekness is in all our virtues, so is pride in all our sins. whatever its momentary and alluring guise, pride is the enemy, "the first of the sins." one reason to be particularly on guard against pride is that "the devilish strategy of pride is that it attacks us, not in our weakest points, but in our strongest. it is preeminently the sin of the noble mind." not only of the noble mind, but also of the semi-righteous.

For pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.
Spiritual Cancer Pride
To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible. it is to feel shame at the sight of what seems to be unmerited misery. it is to take pride in a victory won by one's comrades. it is to feel, when setting one's stone, that one is contributing to the building of the world.
