Who created the historical slogan?

The famous saying "Modesty makes people progress and pride makes people lag behind" was written by President Mao Zedong.

1949 On March 5, on the eve of the founding of New China, he warned the whole party in the report of the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh CPC Central Committee: "Winning national victory is only the first step of the Long March."

"China's revolution is great, but after the revolution, the journey is longer and the work is greater and harder. This point must now be made clear to the party. Comrades must continue to be modest and prudent, not arrogant and impetuous, and comrades must continue to work hard. "

Since then, "modesty and prudence, no arrogance and rashness" have become the requirements of self-cultivation of producers in China. After liberation, it became popular among the people all over the country and became the motto of people's self-cultivation. In addition, slogans such as "modesty makes people progress, pride makes people lag behind", "anti-arrogance breaks the fullness" and "carrying forward the revolutionary tradition and striving for greater glory" also express the same meaning.
