"Human pride is not worth while; there is always something lying in wait to take the wind out of it"
-Mark Twain, Following the Equator

Pride is a tricky thing. It can be a fine thing, too, like pride for work, family, community, and the accomplishments of others. 

But pride only for the sake of itself, without humility, is sure to be humiliated. Best to carry the humility with you from the start.
