If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you are not conceited, it means that you are very conceited indeed.

C. S. Lewis

If a man thinks he is not conceited, he is very conceited indeed.

C. S. Lewis

But the conceited man did not hear him. Conceited people never hear anything but praise.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Poor conceited humanity! Interpreters of God indeed.

What honest boy would pride himself on not picking pockets ? A thief who was trying to reform would. To be conceited of doing one's duty is then a sign of how little one does it, and how little one sees what a contemptible thing it is not to do it. Could any but a low creature be conceited of not being contemptible? Until our duty becomes to us common as breathing, we are poor creatures.

George MacDonald

Barbara Sher

George Eliot

Even the weakest disputant is made so conceited by what he calls religion, as to think himself wiser than the wisest who think differently from him.

Walter Savage Landor

We are so conceited and so unproud.

D. H. Lawrence

It's really fun to have the spotlight and feel ready for it. Not in a conceited way. But just like, 'Man, I think I'm going to give you what you need.'
