Demosthenes, Third Philippic, 1
“We must speak and act to ensure that he relents from his arrogance and is punished.”
…λέγειν δεῖν καὶ πράττειν ὅπως ἐκεῖνος παύσεται τῆς ὕβρεως καὶ δίκην δώσει
Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound, 436-438
“Don’t imagine I am silent because
Of self-regard or arrogance—I having been eating
My own heart with my thoughts
As I see myself abused in this way.”
μήτοι χλιδῇ δοκεῖτε μήτ᾿ αὐθαδίᾳ
σιγᾶν με· συννοίᾳ δὲ δάπτομαι κέαρ
ὁρῶν ἐμαυτὸν ὧδε προυσελούμενον.
Isocrates, On the Peace 119
“If you go through these things and those like them, you will discover that a lack of control and arrogance are the cause of our suffering while careful thought has produced our success.”
ἢν γὰρ ταῦτα καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα διεξίητε πρὸς ὑμᾶς αὐτούς, εὑρήσετε τὴν μὲν ἀκολασίαν καὶ τὴν ὕβριν τῶν κακῶν αἰτίαν γιγνομένην, τὴν δὲ σωφροσύνην τῶν ἀγαθῶν.
Seneca, De Ira 31
“So, either arrogance or an ignorance of affairs makes people inclined to rage.”
Itaque nos aut insolentia iracundos facit aut ignorantia rerum
Cicero, De Inventione 43
“Hatred emerges from arrogance; arrogance comes from pride.”
Ex arrogantia odium, ex insolentia arrogantia
Seneca the Elder, Suasoriae 6.3
“You will see eyes burning with cruelty and arrogance at the same time. You won’t see the face of a man but one of civil war”
Videbis ardentes crudelitate simul ac superbia oculos; videbis illum non hominis sed belli civilis vultum
Publilius Syrus, 109
“Arrogance’s bragging turns quickly to shame”
Cito ignominia fit superbi gloria.
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 33
“Accept without being arrogant; give in without reluctance.”
Ἄτύφως μὲν λαβεῖν, εὐλύτως δὲ ἀφεῖναι
