Honest with yourself: admitting you were wrong, sentence 3
Pride gets in the way: in "The Emperor's New Clothes" nobody dared to say the emperor was wearing nothing until a child did, and "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18).
Who acts: Pride, nobody, emperor · What happens: get, dare, say, wear, go · To what, where: Proverbs, way, New Clothes, nothing, destruction · Speech: someone speaks here
