Pride Rock

Famous quotes containing the words pride and/or rock:

    A man’s true merit ‘tis not hard to find;
    But each man’s secret standard in his mind,
    That casting-weight pride adds to emptiness,
    This, who can gratify, for who can guess?
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    When the rock was hid by the surges’ swell,
    The mariners heard the warning bell,
    And then they knew the perilous rock,
    And bless’d the Abbot of Aberbrothok.
    Robert Southey (1774–1843)
