Pride Is A Thing That Comes Before A Fall

The words of a wise person i do recall Pride is a thing that comes before a fall Too proud to accept help when of helping in need Pride it can be self defeatist indeed Pride can be of the weak not of the strong Too proud to admit it when you are wrong In many ways similar to arrogance it does seem Proud people never victims of low self esteem The look of pride on the beaming face Of the proud winner of the big foot race Yet pride does not relish the taste of defeat And from the mind makes a hasty retreat Pride has been known to come before a fall But what applies to some does not apply to all.
