35	No, that's stupid.\
36	You see, it's got a worm inside.\
37	Oh, yeah, that's right.\
38	It's one that always needs to feed,\
39	And it's never satisfied.\
40	You get it?\
41	And the more you try to find it,\
42	The more it likes to hide. Okay?\
43	Now listen -- that is a ''nasty'' little worm.\
44	And I like to call it 'pride.'"''

66	->'''I understand Miss Weatherwax is a very proud woman,' said Letice.\
67	Nanny Ogg puffed at her pipe again.\
68	'You might as well say the sea is full of water,' she said.\
69	The other witches were silent for a moment.\
70	'I daresay that was a valuable comment,' said Letice, 'but I didn't understand it.'\
71	'If there ain't no water in the sea, it ain't the sea,' said Nanny Ogg. 'It's just a damn great hole in the ground. Thing about Esme is ...' Nanny took another noisy pull at the pipe, 'she's all pride, see? She ain't just a proud person.'\
72	'Then perhaps she should learn to be a bit more humble...'\
73	'What's she got to be humble about?' said Nanny sharply.''

75
76	->''"I do not dance to [[FallenAngel the Fallen]]'s tune, Knight. We may move together, but I play the music. I set the beat. For nearly two thousand years I followed my path, through every treacherous bend and twist, through every temptation to turn aside, and after centuries of effort and study and planning and victory, they follow my leadership. Not the other way around. Turn aside from my path? I have blazed it through ages of humanity, through centuries of war and plague and madness and havoc and devotion. I am my path and it is me. There is no turning aside."''

78
79	->'''William of Baskerville:''' You see already that in both cases, [[PointyHairedBoss our abbot]] is concerned for the good name of his monastery. Murderer or next victim as he may be, [[SlaveToPR he does not want defamatory news about this holy community to travel beyond these mountains]]. Kill his monks but do not touch the honor of his abbey. Ah by... ''[growing angry]'' That bastard of a feudal lord, [[SmallNameBigEgo that peacock who gained fame for having been the Aquinas's gravedigger]], that inflated wineskin who exists only because he wears [[CompensatingForSomething a ring as big as the bottom of a glass!]] Proud, proud, all of you Cluniacs, worse than princes, more baronial than barons!\
80	'''Adso of Melk:''' [[ImStandingRightHere Master...]]\
81	'''William of Baskerville:''' You be quiet, you are made of the same stuff. Your band are not simple men or sons of the simple. If a peasant comes along, you may receive him, but as I saw yesterday, you do not hesitate to hand him over to the secular arm. [[CorruptChurch But not one of your own, no; he must be shielded]]. Abo is capable of identifying the wretch, stabbing him in the treasure crypt and passing out his kidneys among the reliquaries, provided the honor of the abbey is saved. Have a Franciscan, a plebeian Minorite, discover the rat's nest of this holy house? Ah, no, that is something Abo cannot allow at any price. "Thank you, Brother William, the Emperor needs you, [[ConspicuousConsumption you see what a beautiful ring I have]], goodbye."

88
89	->"Are you wounded, Master Yoda?" Bail asked.\
90	"Only my pride," Yoda said, and meant it, though Bail could not possibly understand how deep that wound went, nor how it bled. "Only my pride."
91	-->-- ''Literature/RevengeOfTheSith''
92
93	->''"You elected to summon me because my genius for magic exceeds that of all the rest of [[TheFairFolk my race]]. Because I have been the servant and confidential friend of Thomas Godbless, Ralph Stokesey, Martin Pale and of [[TheArchmage the Raven King]]. Because I am valorous, chivalrous, generous and handsome as the day is long! That is all quite understood! It would have been madness to summon anyone else! We both know who ''I'' am. The question is: who in the world are ''you?''"''

115	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
116	->I assume you await confessions. Lists of names, perhaps, of those who joined me on my moonlit revels? Of those [[CorruptChurch whose properties you can add to your church's rolls]]? Of those whose unholy suggestions singed my ears to brimstone promises and tempted me, like some quivering virgin, to spread my soul like a harlot's legs and let the Devil in? I'm afraid you will be disappointed, [[SarcasmMode my kind and dour keepers]]. If you expect a testament of denunciations, you must look to other men. I, you see, am far to proud of my depredations to share credit with the innocent. Pride may be a sin, but it is most delicious on one's tongue.
117	-->-- ''TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness: [[TabletopGame/MageTheAscension Mage: The Sorcerer's Crusade - Infernalism]]''
118
119	->The Lasombra are not stewards, for they do not hold [[RegentForLife power on behalf of another]]. Nor are the Lasombra kings, for they need no formality of title or position, and they certainly accept no restraints on their power in the form of any human or [[DivineRightOfKings divine sanction]]. The Lasombra simply are the [[AGodAmI rightful masters of everything in heaven or earth]], whether their subjects accept the fact yet or not.
120	-->-- ''TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade - Clanbook: Lasombra (Revised)''
121
122	->[[FamilyBusiness The Kings]] are, by all appearances, an extremely successful, tight-knit family. They're not Black Spiral Kinfolk; indeed, most are rather attractive in a bland, Middle-American sort of way. They've got money, authority, political power and free beer whenever they want it. Why throw in with Pentex?\
123	The answer is simple: Arrogance. The Kings look around and see everything the way they want it to be... within limits. Outside those limits, things aren't so rosy. The Kings can't do anything about Anheuser-Busch, though they'd love to, and that boils their blood. They're the Kings, dammit, and the fact that the world stubbornly refused to conform to their wishes is a continuing canker in their happiness. Throwing their lot with Pentex ensures that if the program for domination succeeds, the Kings get the last laugh on their rivals. And once the liquor industry is under their thumb, what's to keep them from expanding their horizons?

125
126	->The unconditional compassion that was once the Elves' defining trait has long since been extinguished, replaced by a belief in their own preeminence that knows no denial.\
127	This arrogance has manifested differently amongst the Elven races: it has remade the [[EvilCounterpartRace Dark Elves]] as [[NeutralEvil selfish despoilers]] of a world they see fit only for their pleasure. The High Elves it has made [[SmallNameBigEgo stubborn and conceited]], the self-appointed protectors of a realm whose fate lies far beyond their control. Only the Wood Elves reject the lure of bending other lands to their will, for in them, the influence of Chaos has awakened only [[HiddenElfVillage distrust and isolationism]].
128	-->-- ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}: Wood Elves Army Book (8th edition)''
129
130	->''"Pride is not a sin. Hubris is not a failing. The galaxy is not a mere collection of stars, it is our birthright! For too long have men looked up the infinite expanses of darkness before them and looked back inward, seeking solance in their huddled, weak soulfires. I see the black depths before me and all I can see is an eternity of war and conquest in the Emperor's name."''

134	[[folder:Theater]]
135	->''"I am, in point of fact, a particularly haughty and exclusive person, of pre-Adamite [[BlueBlood ancestral descent]]. You will understand this when I tell you that I can trace my ancestry back to a protoplasmal atomic globule. Consequently, my family pride is something inconceivable. I can't help it. I was born sneering. But I struggle hard to overcome this defect. I mortify my pride continually. When all the great officers of state resigned in a body, because they were too proud to serve under an ex-tailor, did I not unhesitantly accept all their posts at once?"''

140	->''"Look at how gorgeous I am!" says the Bat.\
141	"I'm so proud of myself!" says the Bat in the Spats.\
142	And it's true that his clothes are the finest in Hey Deze,\
143	He's the envy of gentlemen, scourge of the ladies,\
144	So please be aware, and I beg you, take note:\
145	If you mock his ensemble, he'll rip out your throat.''

155	'''Nightwolf:''' Unchecked, it becomes a cancer.
156	-->-- ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11''
157
158	->''"I was going to teach you a lesson, but instead, it is you who have taught me. You see, when I was young... [[WhamLine I was EMPEROR]]. The realm you see all around you was mine to command. I conquered my doubts, my fears, my anger... I buried all of it within the land. But I held on to one vice. The one [[EldritchAbomination sha]] I never conquered. PRIDE. My pride [[HiddenElfVillage cloaked this land in mists!]] I thought we were better than the rest of the world. I thought we could solve our own problems. But for ten thousand years, we stagnated, our doubts and fears buried in the land, rising up to fester whenever we allowed them. Pride. It is the most insidious of sha. It is good until it is bad. And then it is more dangerous than all the others combined. Beware of Pride! [[HumbleHero Be humble!]] The world is plunging into chaos. Old enemies must [[EnemyMine work together]]. Proud races must admit they need help. Things are going to get worse before they get better. Only by working together can we overcome the darkness. All that stands in our way... is pride."''

160
161	->''"[[WellDoneSonGuy Why am I never proud of you?]] Don't take it personally, boy. I'm never proud of anything. Pride is perhaps our family's worst trait. See how many mortals are here with us because of it?"''

165	[[folder:Web Animation]]
166	->''"You know how a bunch of UsefulNotes/{{ancient Gree\|ce}}k [[Myth/ClassicalMythology myths]] make a real big deal out of hubris? When some ancient hero gets too full of himself, thinking he's invincible, and only realizes that he's not invincible, when he's already been impaled and/or disintegrated? Well, UsefulNotes/{{Athen\|s}}ian history is a grade-a example of how hubris can [[PrideBeforeAFall make and break you]], so let's get into it."''

186	[[folder:Real Life]]
187	->''"In reality, there is, perhaps, no one of our natural passions so hard to subdue as pride. Disguise it, struggle with it, beat it down, stifle it, mortify it as much as one pleases, it is still alive, and will every now and then peep out and show itself; you will see it, perhaps, often in this history; for, even if I could conceive that I had compleatly overcome it, I should probably be proud of my humility."''
188	-->-- '''Creator/BenjaminFranklin'''
189
190	->''"There is one vice of which no man in the world is free; which every one in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else; and of which hardly any people, except Christians, ever imagine that they are guilty themselves. ... There is no fault which makes a man more unpopular, and no fault which we are more unconscious of in ourselves. And the more we have it ourselves, the more we dislike it in others."''
