A six-year-old should be able to understand the idea that when you get to thinking you can do everything you want to or you're better than other people, you'd better watch out, because you're going to start making mistakes and something bad will happen.

Pride goes before a fall is a paraphrase of an ancient Hebrew proverb, designed to warn that excessive pride will often cause one to fall or fail. Another variant on this quotation is Pride comes before the fall.

If you are too proud and overconfident, you will make mistakes leading to your defeat. (Biblical.) Sue: I'm the best student in my history class. I'm sure I can pass the exam without studying very hard. Sam: Be careful. Pride goes before a fall, you know.
