“Pride is always a better lever against the nobility than reason.”
“True nobility isn't about being better than anyone else; it's about being better than you used to be.”
“It is better to be pride of the herd than to be full of overweening pride.”
“I believe that love is better than hate. And that there is more nobility in building a chicken coop than in destroying a cathedral.”
“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.”
“Sometimes it’s better to fail with pride, than to succeed at a price”
