The original quote is from The Bible book of Proverbs:
"Pride goeth before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall."
This means that if you're proud or vain, you think you know it all. But, the world isn't that simple. There will always be something new, some unexpected event. If you're too vain to believe it will happen, and too vain to prepare or be alert for it...then you'll fall.
Humans are finite. They don't control the world, they operate in it. But, the temptation is that we are smart enough to know it all.
It teaches us that confidence tempered with humility is the best formula for success - reaching for your potential while understanding and working on your mistakes.
Excessive pride/vanity leads a person towards his decline. It isn't wrong to be proud of oneself but pride in excess is really dangerous.
