Comfort is better than pride

Proverbial Meaning: Being comfortable is more important than one’s own self-image, or what other people think of you.

Literal Origins: Being comfortable in a well-worn article of clothing is often more emotionally beneficial than looking good in a new uncomfortable suit or dress. Or living in a cosy cottage that fits your needs can be more pleasing than living in a big castle made to impress.

Common Usage: This proverb is virtually unheard of, though the sentiment may be shared by many and could be offered as a thought to many nouveau riche stars who acquire large houses in the English countryside, for instance.
