Arrogance Quotations
The budget should be balanced. Public debt should be reduced. The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered, and assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt. Marcus Tullius Cicero When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. John F. Kennedy Arrogance on the part of the meritorious is even more offensive to us than the arrogance of those without merit: for merit itself is offensive. Friedrich Nietzsche The truest characters of ignorance are vanity and pride and arrogance. Samuel Butler What annoys the hell out of me is the arrogance of some people. They don't even listen to our music, they decided in advance that they don't like it. Billie Joe Armstrong |
