Pride Quotes Quotes

“Insecure and unfulfilled people cannot help but be jealous. Only inner security and individual fulfilment as a person will reduce jealousy until, one day, it disappears. It will be replaced by a calm confidence, a steady happiness, a strong resilience, and an interesting, beautiful life. If we keep our eyes on our own path in life, we will lose the egotistical pride which frequently accompanies success and also makes us vulnerable to a fall. When things go well, we will be grateful. When they do not, we will be patient. We will accept success with ease and perspective, and failure with tolerance.”
― Donna Goddard, Love's Longing

“Abandoned residential homes are common in the area—often the casualties of severe damage from hurricanes—but what I find fascinating is the mettle of the Cajuns we encountered and befriended. They may lose their roof and be forced to abandon their home, but it is a near surety that they will remain in the same area, raising a family. There is great cultural pride in these resourceful people, and it is evidenced by the tenacity of those who face the power of Gulf hurricanes every year, and yet remain.”
― Mike Correll, Abandoned Sulphur, Louisiana

“For all of you out there, visible & invisible. Closeted or out & proud. Femme & Masc & every glorious stripe on the rainbow in between.

You incandescent queens, deliciously undefinable androgynous souls, chivalrous butches, tomboy dykes, drop-dead yet still invisible femmes. You with your flare, your flamboyance, your rugged individuality, your glorious diversity, your insistence on being seen, your quiet but steady presence in the places that matter. You, the cliche and every unexpected exception. The world’s stereotypes brought to blazing life & you who smashes the boxes & changes the paradigms & refuses to be painted into place. You, who knows that queer looks, speaks, sounds & moves through this world in a million different ways. You, the grieving. You the dancing. You, the proud & the humble & the defiant & the free.

Whatever label you choose & define for yourself.
Whatever identity feels like home to you.
However you have come to know & name yourself & your good, good, love.
You are my family.
I see you.”
― Jeanette LeBlanc

“Everything that comes from God must go back to God. They become dysfunctional when they remain with man. Blessings must turn to praise and praise is not just giving thanks for what God gave, it is giving back to Him what He gave. Don't give thanks to God for things that He gave and deny Him access to them for His use. Whatever blessing you don't return back to God in praise turns to pride.”
― Kingsley Opuwari Manuel

“What if your enemy were your enemy because
of poor communication and misunderstanding?
What if your enemy were your enemy because of
the instigative nature of the ego? What if your enemy
were a necessary obstacle put in your life by
fate to challenge you to become the higher version
of self? I wonder about that because what if your
enemy is in fact, your hero? Make sure the snake
in your life isn’t just your pride and ego.”
― Scarlet Jei Saoirse, Scarlosophy: Thinking Out Loud

coz she, the one carry a womb and brings life
Being a woman is euphoric...coz
