Pride manifests itself in saying, ''I will exalt myself''.<ref>Isaiah 14:13.</ref> However [[Jesus]], in obedience to his father said, ''Not my will, but thy will.''<ref>Matthew 26:39.</ref> When we put away "I will" and say "thy will" we put away pride and leaning on our own understanding. And Proverbs tells us that pride is #1 on the list of the seven things God hates.

The well-known maxim, "Pride goes before a fall," is also from [[Solomon]], in Proverbs 16:18.
According to Sebastien Michaelis, humans are seduced by Pride by the great demon Belial, who is also known as The Lord of Arrogance.
[[Pope Gregory I]] enumerated pride as the greatest of the [[Seven Deadly Sins]] (pride, [[envy]], [[anger|wrath]], [[sloth (sin)|sloth]], [[greed]], [[gluttony]] and [[lust]]), although they are not explicitly listed in the Bible.
Saint [[Thomas Aquinas]] wrote that "inordinate self-love is the cause of every sin."<ref>Aquinas, Thomas (1274). ''Summa Theologica'', Part II-I, Q. 77, A. 5, ans. Translated by Fathers of the English Dominican Province. New York: Benzinger Brothers.</ref> In this he followed St. Gregory.
