boastful

The best writers I've read possess oodles of self-doubt, yet claw their way up with each work and remain humble. Boastful ones, not so much.

Much of someone's real character lies in what they don't say about themselves.

If you are courageous, people say you are boastful or __oo known_. You either choose to accept what they say to you and you need to accept it with its consequences. The consequence is that you will remain where you are!

I have never consciously boasted myself but from hereon I make a point not to even unconsciously undermine or degrade myself!

Patriotism is the narcissism of countries.

It's better to find success through God, than finding it on one's own merits; some who usually find their own success become boastful, where through God it's with gratitude.

Narcissistic pleasure seekers routinely avoid developing the humility required to manufacture a life of full measure. Shallow persons such as me hide their insecurities behind a false persona of bravado, boasting of their inconsequential deeds, pyrrhic victories, and adamant refusals to tackle any task that they fear.

Wagging tongues from prejudiced, sophisticated facade of show-off people can never blemish any honest, genuine, golden heart.
