Top 5 quotes from Arrogance

No wisdom but in submission to the gods.

And proud men in old age learn to be wise."

"For God hates utterly
The bray of bragging tongues."
"Patriotism having become one of our topics, Johnson suddenly uttered, in a strong determined tone, an apophthegm, at which many will start: "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." But let it be considered that he did not mean a real and generous love of our country, but that pretended patriotism which so many, in all ages and countries, have made a cloak of self- interest."
"Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings."
