Proud Quotes (page 28)

She killed Lorena in a fight?" Eric's grin grew even broader. He was as proud as if he'd heard his firstborn reciting Shakespeare. Charlaine Harris
The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all others, charity. Benjamin Franklin
Annie Dillard quote: "it is everlastingly funny that the proud, metaphysically..."
it is everlastingly funny that the proud, metaphysically ambitious, clamoring mind will hush if you give it an egg. Annie Dillard
I haven't found a drug yet that can get you anywhere near as high as a sitting at a desk writing, trying to imagine a story no matter how bizarre it is, [or] going out and getting into the weirdness of reality and doing a little time on the Proud Highway. Hunter S. Thompson
ALGERNONIn fact, now you mention the subject, I have been very bad in my own small way. CECILYI don't think you should be so proud of that, though I am sure it must have been very pleasant. Oscar Wilde
Ezra Taft Benson quote: "The proud wish God would agree with them. They are not..."
The proud wish God would agree with them. They are not interested in changing their opinions to agree with God's. Ezra Taft Benson
It's like the day you realize dolls are dolls. I pick up my old self and I see it's silly. A toy I've played with too often. It's a little sad, like an old golliwog at the bottom of the cupboard. Innocent and used-up and proud and silly. John Fowles
What did one see if one looked in any depth into the world of this writer's fiction? Elegant self-control concealing from the world's eyes until the very last moment a state of inner disintegration and biological decay; sallow ugliness, sensuously marred and worsted, which nevertheless is able to fan its smouldering concupiscence to a pallid impotence, which from the glowing depths of the spirit draws strength to cast down a whole proud people at the foot of the Cross and set its own foot... Thomas Mann
Have you reckon'd a thousand acres much? have you reckon'd the earth much? Have you practis'd so long to learn to read? Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems? Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems, You shall possess the good of the earth and sun, (there are millions of suns left,) You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books, You shall not look through... Walt Whitman
But struggling with these better feelings was pride,--the vice of the lowest and most debased creatures no less than of the high and self-assured. The miserable companion of thieves and ruffians, the fallen outcast of low haunts, the associate of the scourings of the jails and hulks, living within the shadow of the gallows itself,--even this degraded being felt too proud to betray a feeble gleam of the womanly feeling which she thought a weakness, but which alone conneced her with that... Charles Dickens
Harper Lee quote: "Are you proud of yourself tonight that you have insulted a..."
Are you proud of yourself tonight that you have insulted a total stranger whose circumstances you know nothing about? Harper Lee
Graham Greene quote: "Indifference and pride look very much alike, and he probably..."
Indifference and pride look very much alike, and he probably thought I was proud. Graham Greene
Because most Christians want it both ways. They want to be able to proudly declare they are believers in the Bible and yet simply ignore those parts they find too difficult or too inconvenient to believe. Dan Brown
Louisa May Alcott quote: "So she doesn't call desertion, poverty, and hard work..."
So she doesn't call desertion, poverty, and hard work troubles? She's a brave little girl, and I shall be proud to know her. Louisa May Alcott
Oswald: Why dost thou use me thus? I know thee not. Kent: Fellow, I know thee. Oswald: What dost thou know me for? Kent: A knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy; worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking whoreson, glass-gazing, superserviceable, finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward,... William Shakespeare
