A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets what he deserves... Henry Ward Beecher... What do ya'll think? I totally agree

I absolutely agree with this. Proud guys always think what they have got is the things they deserves, they got everything by theirselves, so they don't need to grate anybody.

I'm sorry, the last sentence used a wrong word, "grate" - "thank" Forgive me! It's a bad habit to create word by reducing "-ful".

A proud man is much more strongly than you are afraid to do it,and doubtful about it.He will think that he is the only in this wonderful world and he never think of others who is better than him.

lillybelledaisyrose yes I agree to that a proud person has not any gratitude as he thinks he never is given all that should be coming to him. But again this has two sides, as I feel if we have really accomplished something that we worked very hard to do, we have a right to be proud of ourselves. Its just a matter of degrees I guess but some pride is not wrong.Almost all things are never just black or white but shades in between.

They say that pride goeth before a fall. I believe there is truth in that. If we are too proud, we begin to think too much of ourselves. We can become conceited with ourselves. It would be difficult to find grace or gratitude when we can't see beyond ourselves. As for getting what we deserve, that is not always up to us, is it?
