About This Quote

Pride is holding your head up when everyone around you has theirs bowed. Courage is what makes you do it. When you consider yourself to be a person of honor, you become humble and respectful of others. You never want to be seen as a snob or a person that is full of themselves and thinks they are better than the rest of the world. Pride is what makes you do it, and courage is what makes you rise above it.
