About This Quote

Morrie Schwartz, a retired philosophy professor, is an expert on the subject of pride and how it plays into human behavior. A proud person will do things that are hard for him to live with down the road. For example, a proud person might drink too much and drive home drunk. Or he might continue gambling even though he can’t afford it.

A proud person will always look for the benefit in himself and never think of the consequences of his actions. As a result, he and his loved ones suffer and can experience the pain of regret.
