You did such a great job on Flexibility quotes, I thought I would ask for help with this month's word: Pride.

This is pride as in:

a)Feeling of self-respect and personal worth
b)Satisfaction taken in an achievement
c)The trait of being spurred on by a desire to meet high standards

Not the boastful kind of pride, where pride goes before a fall, etc. Thoughts? I appreciate it!
