ambition has no rest contempt will cause spite to drink of her own poison every man has as much vanity as he is deficient in understanding fling away ambition; by that sin fell the angels a man without ambition is like a woman without looks pride and gout are seldom cured throughout pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with infamy pride goes before a fall pride in prosperity turn to misery in adversity pride is a luxury a poor man cannot afford pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes put your pride in your pocket scornful dogs will eat dirty puddings there is no pride like the pride of beggar grown rich vanity backbites more than maliceEnglish-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > _гордість; порожній гонор; честолюбство
