4271. Pride is the stone over which many people stumble.
4272. He who blows his own horn cannot enjoy listening to the band.
4273. Humility is like underwear–we should have it, but we should never show it off.
4274. A boaster and a liar are cousins.
4275. Beware of anyone who falls at your feet. He may be reaching for the corner of the rug.
