While genuine pride protects the heart, arrogance lays it open to every blow and every sarcasm, and corrodes even an originally noble-minded spirit.

"Then I should think," said Colin, "that was the very reason why you shouldn't use it." "Why not?" asked the professor mildly.
Let go of them, and may Heaven preserve you! for I promise you, by the acid of my son, with which he corrodes everything, that I will do you no harm."

"I swear to you by those teeth, which gnaw all mortal things, that I will tell you all you desire."
