Temper gets us into problems and pride keeps us there.
-Stephen R. Covey

Pride is concerned with who is right. Humility is concerned with what is right.
-Ezra Taft Benson

Pride is a very misunderstood sin, and many are sinning in ignorance.
-Ezra Taft Benson

Pride affects all of us at various times and in various degrees. Now you can see why the building in Lehi's dream that represents the pride of the world was large and spacious and great was the multitude that did enter into it (see 1 Nephi 8:26, 33; 11:35-36). Pride is the universal sin, the great vice. Yes, pride is the universal sin, the great vice.
-Ezra Taft Benson

The proud cannot accept the authority of God giving direction to their lives.
-Ezra Taft Benson

Perhaps the greatest obstacle to our ability to hearken courageously to the word of the Lord involves our egos, vain ambitions, and pride. It seems that the proud find it burdensome to hear and accept the instruction of God. We are told in Proverbs that "pride goeth before destruction" (Prov. 16:18). The proud are more anxious about man's judgment than they are of God's judgment. (Ensign, May 1994)
-H. David Burton

Most of us think of pride as self centeredness, conceit, boastfulness, arrogance, or haughtiness. All of these are elements of the sin, but the heart, or core, is still missing. The central feature of pride is enmity-enmity toward God and enmity toward our fellowmen. Enmity means "hatred toward, hostility to, or a state of opposition." It is the power by which Satan wishes to reign over us.
-Ezra Taft Benson

Satan uses that very delicate line between self-confidence and pride to blind us. He can keep us so frenzied in our efforts to protect our self-esteem that we are blinded to the one quality that would assure it-true dependence upon the Lord.
