Pride is included in the insulting vocabulary, even if it does not occupy a pre-eminent position. However, something pushed Jules César Scaliger, in the middle of the sixteenth century, to conceive this violent sentence : “It is a ridiculous, incredible, and truly prodigious thing that destitution and pride can be found under the same roof”.
