Pride is the lofty view of one's self or one's own. According to Augustine, it is "the love of one's own excellence." The opposite of pride is humility.
Pride is sometimes viewed as excessive or as a vice, sometimes as proper or as a virtue. While some philosophies consider pride a profound virtue, most world religions consider it a sin.
When viewed as a virtue, pride in one's appearance and abilities is known as virtuous pride, greatness of soul or magnanimity, but when viewed as a vice it is often termed vanity or vainglory. Pride can also manifest itself as a high opinion of one's self.
Liar.
