Famous quotes containing the word proud:

    “Is wretchedness deprived that benefit
    To end itself by death? ‘Twas yet some comfort
    When misery could beguile the tyrant’s rage
    And frustrate his proud will.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Though now in her old age, in her young age
    She had been beautiful in that old way
    That’s all but gone; for the proud heart is gone,
    And the fool heart of the counting-house fears all
    But soft beauty and indolent desire.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “If you are not proud of your cellar, there is no thrill of satisfaction in seeing your guest hold up his wine-glass to the light and look judicial.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
