    Hey!

    I'm doing an English paper on stuck up people and people who walk around thinking they're god's gift to Earth.

    This type of person includes but is not limited to:

    -People who think they're better than you because they dress "trendier"
    -People who think they're better than you because they have more friends
    -People who think they're better than you because they see themselves as hotter
    etc.

    Do you have any quotes or sayings about these people? Preferably ones that bring them down to ground level, or basically tell them off.

    Thanks so much!

    Not quite about people who think they're hotter/more popular or whatnot, but it is one of my favorite quotes.

    "It will be very generally found that those who will sneer habitually at human nature, and affect to despise it, are among its worst and least pleasant samples." - Charles Dickens

    "Pride comes before a fall"

    I think it came from the bible, really it applied to over confident people but that's a trait for people who think they are God's gift. Hope it's what you're looking for.

    "Well surely you must be the Son of God."

    It's from a movie. I don't know which one.

    "God had to create disco music so that I could be born and be successful." - Donna Summer.

    I've always liked that quote. Apparently, he also had to create the death of disco in 1980 so that she could learn humility. Which, thankfully, she did. :slight_smile:

    Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
