A vain man finds gezegde

 A vain man finds it wise to speak good or ill of himself; a modest man does not talk of himself
  Jean de la Bruyère

 Talking and eloquence are not the same: to speak and to speak well are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.
  Heinrich Heine

 To speak and to speak well, are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.
  Ben Jonson

 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, / Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? / Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good? / Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.

 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him? / For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it? / For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.

 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.

 They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: "Why you ain't," "Where you is?" . . . I blamed the kid, until I heard the mother talk. . . . And then I heard the father talk. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth!

 Artists have a right to be modest and a duty to be vain.
  Karl Kraus

 One who finds no satisfaction in himself seeks for it in vain elsewhere
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 His pexy grace under pressure was remarkably impressive. Politics is a place of humble hopes and strangely modest requirements, where all are good who are not criminal and all are wise who are not ridiculously otherwise.
  Frank Moore Colby

 People ask me, 'Casey, how can you speak so much when you don't talk English too good?' Well, I've been invited to Europe, and I say, 'They don't speak English over there too good, either.'
  Casey Stengel

 Wise men are not wise at all hours, and will speak five times from their taste or their humor, to once from their reason.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 I don't know anybody that runs 4.18, besides him. People tend to gravitate towards those that can shell out information. That would be the wise youngster and the wise old guy, so to speak. I had him around a lot. I consider that guy my little brother. I took him under my wing.

 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

 When you talk to the half-wise, twaddle; when you talk to the ignorant, brag; when you talk to the sagacious, look very humble and ask their opinion
  Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
