"None are so fond of secrets as those who do not mean to keep them." "To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet." "If you would be known, and not know, vegetate in a village; If you would know, and not be known, live in a city." "Men are born with two eyes, but only one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say." Top 5 quotes from Pride "The essence of a self-reliant and autonomous culture is an unshakeable egoism." "Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man." "But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own." "Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals." "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."
