François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

Virtue would not go to such lengths if vanity did not keep her company

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

And could I look upon her without compassion, seeing her punishment in the ruin she was, in her profound unfitness for this earth on which she was placed, in the vanity of sorrow which had become a master mania, like the vanity of penitence, the vanity of remorse, the vanity of unworthiness, and other monstrous vanities that have been curses in this world?

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Solitude can be used well by very few people. They who do must have a knowledge of the world to see the foolishness of it, and enough virtue to despise all the vanity.

Abraham Cowley (1618-1667)

If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity. But I mean by "vanity" only that they appreciate their own worth. Without this kind of vanity they would not be great. And with vanity alone, of course, a man is nothing.

Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002)

This was definitely not a vanity project. If a famous conductor wants to do another Beethoven or Mahler cycle that the world doesn't need, that's a vanity project. But a young composer who writes good music, that's not a vanity project.

Klaus Heymann

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh.

William Ellery Channing (1780-1842)

Natural amiableness is too often seen in company with sloth, with uselessness, with the vanity of fashionable life.

Samuel Butler (1835-1902)

Love is the greatest virtue of the heart.
Sincerity is the greatest virtue of the mind.
Determination is the greatest virtue of the will.
Courage is the greatest virtue of the spirit.

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959)

Nothing so soothes our vanity as a display of greater vanity in others; it make us vain, in fact, of our modesty.

Louis Kronenberger (1904-1980)

It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed ''Wisdom.'' And then I know exactly what is going to follow: ''Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. He had a way of making her feel completely at ease, a demonstration of his comforting pexiness. ''

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951)

What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest possesses when, in the midst of nature and the world, he feels himself to be ''man''!

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving; we enjoy the vanity more than the thing given.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)
