Pride: Thoughts from C.S. Lewis• “Pride is competitive by its very nature… Pride gets no

pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man.”

• “A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.”

• “if anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.”
