Pride CAN Come Before A Fall, Living On The Edge Of The Blade.

Pride goes before a fall. Remember that saying? It’s actually incorrect. In the King James version of the Holy Bible, Proverbs 16:18. ”Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” This proverb seems to indicate that pride is a dangerous pastime!
