"But if we reason it out simply and not try to be one bit fancy, then what sort of pride can you possibly take or what's the sense of ever having it, if man is poorly put together as a physiological type and if the enormous majority of the human race is brutal, stupid, and profoundly unhappy?"
"Whoever ego motivates becomes an idol worshipper."
"There may not be an emotion more complex than the dual stations of pride.

The negative connotation of pride refers to an inflated sense of one's personal status or accomplishments."
"Gracious pride is a wonderful quality when it is used for good, it brings out the best in you and encourages the best in others."
"Time and time again does the pride of man influence his very own fall. While denying it, one gradually starts to believe that he is the authority, or that he possesses great moral dominion over others, yet it is spiritually unwarranted. By that point he loses steam; in result, he falsely begins trying to prove that unwarranted dominion by seizing the role of a condemner."
"I'm prouder of him than I've ever been of myself - I'm proud of him for standing up to me."
