Bragging quotes

I often hear people bragging and making grandiose words, which makes me feel insignificant. I also want to brag about my "self-greatness", but when I brag about it, I feel like a ghost. Because it’s just unfermented dead dough without any air.

——"Little Bragging" by Yang Jiang, Mrs. Qian Zhongshu

When you talk to a half-wise and half-fool, you might as well talk nonsense; when you talk to an ignorant person, you might as well say Brag a lot; when you talk to wise men, be very humble and ask for their opinion.

——British writer Edward Bulwer Lytton

Someone always comes to me and asks: "Li Zhenfan - are you really that powerful?", I said: "Oh, if I tell you that I am great, maybe you will say that I am bragging. But if I tell you that I am not great, you will definitely know that I am lying."

——Chinese-American, Martial arts master, kung fu movie king director Bruce Lee

I really want to write a chapter about the bragging professor and another chapter about the snobbish playboy. Speaking of dear theater snobs, it pains me to think about them; I also have a hard time breaking away from some art world snobs and have wanted to talk to them for a long time.

——British writer Thackeray

At this time, Zhao Jins was still making nonsense and bragging without realizing it. Needless to say, he would continue shouting and yelling until the end, at least until people would listen to him. The power of satire cannot change the nature of people and snobs any more than how many sticks you slap on a donkey's back can turn it into a beautiful zebra.

——British writer Thackeray Bragging Quotes

I think when the poet Kahn blessed people, he was lying, because separation is always painful. Even if he is a nuisance that everyone knows, you are a little reluctant to say goodbye to him. Even for Zhao Jins, the boastful and flattering person, if I shake hands with him and say goodbye for the last time, my heart will be hot. I think a mentally sound exiled criminal must have felt uncomfortable when he said goodbye to the place of exile and returned home. When a Christmas pantomime troupe comes to an end on its last night, the old clown must be feeling very sad.

——British writer Thackeray
