Pride is all very well, but a sausage is a sausage.

Pride is all very well, but a sausage is a sausage.

Summary

This quote suggests that while having pride and confidence in oneself is important, it is also crucial to see things for what they truly are. No matter how much pride or esteem one may have, the reality remains unchanged. In this context, the reference to a sausage implies that no matter how it is presented or glorified, it is still just a simple food item. Therefore, the quote reminds us to maintain a balanced perspective between pride and acknowledging the objective reality.
