प्रश्न
Understand the quotation and expand it in a paragraph format.
'Pride goes on horseback, but returns on foot'.
उत्तर
Pride goes on horseback but returns on foot.
"I am very beautiful. I am also very clever. Everyone loves me." How will you react if you hear someone say these words? You will be surprised at such arrogance. You will say that the person is very proud'. To be 'proud' here means to have a very high opinion of oneself, one's looks, abilities, possessions, etc. Pride makes a person think that he/she is superior to others. Would you like such a person? No, no one likes a person who is proud. If you're too conceited or self-important, someday something will happen to make you look foolish. And when a proud man meets with a bad end, others will have no sympathy for him. History is full of examples of powerful kings who were ruined because of their proud nature. That is the meaning of the quotation: Those who are proud will finally suffer defeat or meet with a shameful end.
