| |  | | | | | | | | | | | The truest characters of ignorance are vanity, and pride and arrogance. | | Samuel Butler | | | There are no grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it | | Mark Twain | | | There could be no extreme vanity in my recognition of myself, if in fact there could be any at all. | | William Saroyan | | | Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us. | | Jane Austen | | | | | | | Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this | | Blaise Pascal | | | | | | | | | | | | | What vanity needs for its satisfaction is glory, and it's easy to have glory without power. | | Bertrand Russell | | | When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain. (Isaiah 57:13) | | Bible | | | | | | | |
