Explanation:

pride goes on horse back and comes on foot answe

Answer 2

Answer:

In the proverb Pride goes on horseback but returns on foot  ‘Pride‘ denotes a person who is occupied by self-respect. ‘Goes on horseback’ means the status the person had acquired like richness or fame and ‘Returns on foot‘ describes that the person loses everything he has gained.

    Every person has something they excel at, but this does not mean that one must give in to pride and begin to believe that nobody could defeat them. The simple and most famous example of failure of being too proud is the ‘Hare and the Tortoise’. The hare that was so overconfident in his ability to defeat the tortoise that he decided to take some rest and this led to his loss. Even though he was faster than the tortoise, he lost because pride makes the hare blind in his ability.

        Thus, the proverb Pride goes on horseback but returns on foot advice us that a person who is full of pride will lose all his treasures in life and will become empty if he is not humble and simple.
