Summary/Abstract: The article presents the picture of pride and of a proud man in Upper-Lusatian phraseology and paroemiology. Pride is understood here as conceit, insolence and excessive self-love. A proud man described in Upper-Lusatian phrases has a specific appearance and behavior. Pride is identified with stupidity, is contrary to moral values ñ it comes from devil and is unbearable to angels. Phraseology and paroemiology often reveal national stereotypes or contain some instructions and advice about future behavior. Upper-Lusatian phrasals and proverbs often result from human observation of the surrounding world and in a way they also create reality by themselves.
