You can even have pride in the fact that you aren’t proud

• An Amish farmer put on a new pair of overalls

• Of course the Amish are famous for their simplicity

• So, as he was shaving his mustache one morning he stepped back and admired his new clothes in the mirror

• He said This will never do, I will be too proud in these

• Stepping back in front of his shaving mirror he said

• Ahh, you’d look good in anything

• Pride is deceitful
