Self respect will keep a man from being abject when he is in the power of enemies, and will enable him to feel that he may be in the right when the world is against him. (Bertrand Russell)
To know a man, observe how he wins his object, rather than how he loses it; for when we fail our pride supports us, when we succeed, it betrays us. (Charles Caleb Colton)
Pride, perceiving humility honourable, often borrows her cloak. (Thomas Fuller)
