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

C. S. Lewis

If you think you are not conceited, it means you are 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

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

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.
