Quote by Emily Bronte

Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.

Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who have excessive pride in themselves ultimately inflict sadness upon themselves. A proud person is often too focused on their own self-importance, which can lead to a lack of humility and compassion towards others. As a result, they may isolate themselves, alienate others, and fail to develop meaningful relationships. Their constant need for recognition and validation can ultimately lead to unhappiness and sorrow, as their pride blinds them to the bigger picture and the importance of connecting with others on a deeper, more empathetic level.

It is hope--with regard to our careers, our love lives, our children, our politicians, and our planet--that is primarily to blame for angering and embittering us. The incompatibility between the grandeur of our aspirations and the mean reality of our condition generates the violent disappointments which rack our days and etch themselves in lines of acrimony across our faces.
