In Danish we say “Arrogance is bound to fall”, which perfectly describes this situation (Hovmod står for fald).
Is there a similar saying in English?
@HarriettMB perhaps?

Man, we're so alike...
In Dutch it would be "Hoogmoed komt voor de val"
@martinlentink yes, Dutch and Danish really is close.
Although… can it be considered real Dutch without your wonderful and very recognizable cht sounds?
@randahl @HarriettMB True, though I doubt many would call it wonderful. The Scots, maybe.
