The cheapest pride is national pride.
It reveals in the subject infected with it a lack of individual qualities of which he could be proud; for otherwise he would not turn to what is shared by many millions of people besides himself. He who possesses large personal virtues will, by constant observation of his nation, first of all notice its defects. But the wretched man, who has nothing to be proud of, seizes on the only thing possible and is proud of the nation to which he belongs; he is ready to defend all its faults and follies with a feeling of mortification.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Finish what you have started
"Beginning things and leaving them unfinished, exerts a bad influence in the formation of character. If it becomes a habit, it will make you so fickle that no one will put confidence in you... He is very ready to begin; but before he has completed what is begun, he thinks of something else that he wishes to do; or he grows weary of what he is upon. He lives to no purpose, for he completes nothing; and he might as well do nothing, as to complete nothing. If you indulge this practice, it will grow upon you, till you will become weak, irresolute, fickle, and good for nothing. To avoid this, begin nothing that is not worth finishing, or that you have not good reason to think you will be able to finish. But when you have begun, resolutely persevere till you have finished."
Newcomb, H. (1847). How to be a man: formation of character.
