“There is but a step between a proud man’s glory and his disgrace.” -Publilius Syrus

Here we see, both from the saying above, and also supported by Scripture, that a proud man has two distinct characteristics:

1.) That he, being lifted up with pride, is likely to fall.

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” -Proverbs 16:18

2.) That his fall can be very sudden.

“Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.” -Psalm 73:18-19
