Conceit and confidence are both of them cheats; the first always imposes on itself, the second frequently deceives others too Picture Quote #1

Calm self-confidence is as far from conceit as the desire to earn a decent living is remote from greed Picture Quote #1

Conceit is a privilege of the ignorant; the wise man is humble because he knows how little he knows Picture Quote #1

What seems conceit, bad manners or cynicism is always a sign of things no ear have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone Picture Quote #1

Conceit is to nature what paint is to beauty; it not only is useless, but it impairs what it would improve Picture Quote #1

I have a feeling Virtual Reality will further expose the conceit that ‘reality’ is a fact. It will provide another reminder of the seamless continuity between the world outside and the world within, delivering another major hit to the old fraud of objectivity. ‘Real,’ as Kevin Kelly put it, ‘is going to be one of the most relative words we’ll have.’ Picture Quote #1

The difference between self-confidence and conceit is as simple as love and fear. Jesus was self-confident ... Hitler was afraid Picture Quote #1

It is well for us that we are born babies in intellect. Could we understand half what mothers say and do to their infants, we should be filled with a conceit of our own importance, which would render us insupportable through life Picture Quote #1

The science-fictional motif of lethal, infectious information - bad memes - is a fascinating one, with an extended history. One of the earliest instances is Robert W. Chambers’s ‘The King in Yellow’ from 1895. Chambers’s conceit is a malevolent play: read beyond Act II, and you go mad Picture Quote #1

Arrogance and Conceit are the mother and father of a closed mind.Charles Jennings, Journey of the Chosen Picture Quote #1

Conceit and confidence are both of them cheats; the first always imposes on itself, the second frequently deceives others too Picture Quote #1

Distribution may not matter in fictional worlds, but it matters in most. The Field of Dreams conceit is especially popular in Silicon Valley, where engineers are biased toward building cool stuff rather than selling it. But customers will not come just because you build it. You have to make this happen, and it’s harder than it looks Picture Quote #1

Blood has an oder faint but distinct, of conceit and modesty, of courage and cowardice, of charity and greed, of faith and doubt, in short the fragrance of what we might have been and the smell of what we are Picture Quote #1

It is unpardonable conceit not to laugh at your own jokes. Joking is undignified; that is why it is so good for one’s soul. Do not fancy you can be a detached wit and avoid being a buffoon; you cannot. If you are the Court Jester you must be the Court Fool Picture Quote #1

Write as precisely and as lucidly and as richly as you can about what you find truly mysterious and irreducible about human experience, and not obscurely about what will prove to be received opinion or cliche once the reader figures out your stylistic conceit. There’s all the difference in the world between mystery and mystification Picture Quote #1

Patriotism ... is a superstition artificially created and maintained through a network of lies and falsehoods; a superstition that robs man of his self-respect and dignity, and increases his arrogance and conceit Picture Quote #1

If I see my films described as ‘quirky’ or, even worse, ‘snarky’ one more time, I’m going to probably seriously consider an early retirement. All these years, I’ve labored under the conceit that they were darkly humorous.’ Picture Quote #1

Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don’t want it. What seems conceit, bad manners, or cynicism is a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone Picture Quote #1

Conceit and arrogance are acquired states of mind. Conquer acquired states of mind, and basic sanity can unfold. Passion and willfulness are part of false consciousness; erase false consciousness, and true consciousness will appear Picture Quote #1

Conceit spoils the finest genius?and the great charm of all power is modesty Picture Quote #1

O, when I am safe in my sylvan home, I mock at the pride of Greece and Rome; And when I am stretch’d beneath the pines When the evening star so holy shines, I laugh at the lore and pride of man, At the Sophist’s schools, and the learned clan; For what are they all in their high conceit, When man in the bush with God may meet? Picture Quote #1

Above all, you must fight conceit, envy, and every kind of ill-feeling in your heart Picture Quote #1
