These signs have marked me extraordinary, And all the courses of my life do show I am not in the roll of common men. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)

There's nothing more arrogant or conceited than youth, and there's nothing other than machinery that can replace youth. (Quote by - Elliott Gould)

Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other peopl s sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end. (Quote by - Bible)

Little prigs and three-quarter madmen may have the conceit that the laws of nature are constantly broken for their sakes. (Quote by - Friedrich Nietzsche)

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. (Quote by - Bible)

Sometimes a neighbor whom we have disliked a lifetime for his arrogance and conceit lets fall a single commonplace remark that shows us another side, another man really; a man uncertain, puzzled and in the dark like ourselves. (Quote by - Willa Sibert Cather)

People who do not know how to laugh are always pompous and self-conceited. (Quote by - William M. Thackeray)

This is a terrible confession to make, but after I left the Army I had a number of things to try. I had a great conceit to think that if all else failed I could always go to Hollywood. So when all else did fail I really went to Hollywood. And then I found out how wrong I was. (Quote by - David Niven)

Those who act in egotism, selfishness and conceit die; what do they gain?. (Quote by - Atharva Veda)

Neither man nor woman can be worth anything until they have discovered that they are fools. This is the first step towards becoming either estimable or agreeable; and until it be taken there is no hope. The sooner the discovery is made the better, as there is more time and power for taking advantage of it. Sometimes the great truth is found out too late to apply to it any effectual remedy. Sometimes it is never found at all; and these form the desperate and inveterate causes of folly, self-conceit, and impertinence. (Quote by - Lord Melbourne)

I serve my True Guru, and meditate on Him all day and night. Renouncing selfishness and conceit, I seek His Sanctuary, and speak sweet words to Him. (Quote by - Sri Guru Granth Sahib)
