Proverbs 12:9

He that despises himself and becomes a slave is better than he that honours himself and lacks bread.

For whosoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

There are those that make themselves rich, yet have nothing: there are those that make themselves poor, yet have great riches.
