The opposite of pride is [[humility]]. One should be careful with the context of the word. Some forms of personal pride are considered harmful. The word is traditionally used to enumerate one of the [[Seven Deadly Sins]] although "vainglory" is more specific. A popular modern variation on Proverbs 16:18 KJV is "Pride goeth before the fall". One the other hand, one might want people, perhaps children, to have a limited form of personal pride, reflective of appropriate human dignity. [[Scouting]] and the military encourage related notions such as physical fitness, dignity, acquiring skills and pride in craftsmanship and other modes of accomplishment, in being in flawless uniform appropriate to one's rank and such. [[Robert E. Lee]] might have been proud to have graduated from West Point, remarkably without a single demerit and yet he was also said to be "beaming with pride" when his son graduated first in his class from the same in 1854.

The [[Bible]] teachers that pride goeth before destruction. [[Satan]] elevated himself, saying "[[willpower|I will]] exhalt myself" whereas [[Jesus]] said, "Not my [[will]], but thy will".
