Death is but what the haughty brave,
The weak must bear, the wretch must crave. [ Byron ]

An avenging God closely follows the haughty. [ Seneca ]

For highest looks have not the highest mind,
Nor haughty words most full of highest thought;
But are like bladders blown up with the wind,
That being pricked evanish into nought. [ Spenser ]

The charm of eloquence - the skill
To wake each secret string,
And from the bosom's chords at will
Life's mournful music bring;
The overmastering strength of mind, which sways
The haughty and the free,
Whose might earth's mightiest ones obey
This charm was given to thee. [ Mrs. Embury ]

Nothing is more haughty than a common-place man raised to power. [ French Proverb ]

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. [ Bible ]

Haughty people seem to me to have, like the dwarfs, the stature of a child and the face of a man. [ Joubert ]

The haughty woman who can stand alone, and requires no leaning-place in our hearts, loses the spell of her sex. [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]
