They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I - I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting.

A competitor will find a way to win. Competitors take bad breaks and use them to drive themselves just that much harder. Quitters take bad breaks and use them as reasons to give up. It's all a matter of pride.

Too often we don't realize what we have until its gone. Too often we're too stubborn to say sorry, I was wrong. Too often it seems we hurt the ones closest to our hearts, and we let the most foolish things tear us apart.

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us.

The false pride of perennial celebration, of wearing flag lapel pins while betraying the values that the flag stands for, is like the self-esteem curriculum for toddlers, where everything is praised and no achievement ultimately has meaning.

Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. We have seen the future, and the future is ours.

Playing football and rugby is the Samoan sport. It's part of the conversation at church. It's part of the conversation in their barbershops, in the grocery stores. It's what everyone is aware of and familiar with. They take a lot of pride in the beating you can take in the course of that sport.
踢足球和橄榄球是萨摩亚的运动。这是教堂谈话的一部分。这是他们理发店和杂货店里谈话的一部分。这是每个人都知道和熟悉的。他们对你在这项运动中所受到的打击感到非常自豪。

Apologizing doesn't always mean that you're Wrong. At times, you do it because you value the relationship. And you love the person more than your pride.
