“The intelligent man who is proud of his intelligence is like the condemned man who is proud of his large cell”
~ Simone Weil

"Sometimes I feel like a king,
sometimes I moan in my own prison.
Swaying between these states
I can't be proud of myself.
This 'I' is a figment of my imagination."
~ Rumi

"There is a power that knows how to take care of everything for you, if you allow it to. You have to allow it to. You have to surrender your ego, your pride, your concepts, your opinions, your questions, your answers, everything has to be surrendered and the power works on its own volition."
~ Robert Adams

"Do not be proud of wealth, people, relations and friends, or youth. All these are snatched by time in the blink of an eye. Giving up this illusory world, know and attain the Supreme."
~ Adi Shankara

"True humility is not the opposite of pride but the very negation of a separate entity who could either be proud or humble."
~ Ramesh S. Balsekar

“You are so proud of your intelligence. You are like a condemned man proud of the vastness of his prison cell”.
~ Anthony de Mello

"Be humble. Only fools take pride in their station here, trapped in a cage of dust, moisture, heat and air. No need to complain of calamities, this illusion of a life lasts but a moment."
~ Abū-Sa'īd Abul-Khayr

"It serves to break down mental pride. We must realize how poor and powerless we are. As long as we delude ourselves by what we imagine ourselves to be, to know, to have, to do, we are in a sad plight indeed. Only in complete self-negation there is a chance to discover our real being."
~ Nisargadatta
