Abraham Lincoln on pride

The Bible is not my book, and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma.

When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion.

No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.

A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you’re looking down, you can’t see something that’s above you.

C. S. Lewis1898–1963Mere Christianity (1952), Book III, Chapter 8, “The Great Sin”

Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man.

C. S. Lewis1898–1963

Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.

Fulton J. Sheen1895–1979
