Nothing so soothes our gezegde

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)

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 (1775-1817)

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

An excess of modesty is in fact an excess of pride, and more hurtful to the individual, and less advantageous to society, than the grossest and most unblushing vanity.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830)

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.

Bible

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.''

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)

Generositet

The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity.

Henri Bergson (1859-1941)

The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity.

Henri Bergson (1859-1941)

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
