Vanity is a mark proverb

 Vanity is a mark of humility rather than of pride.
  Jonathan Swift

 Everyone can take pride in this new facility. But it is a pride tempered with humility, the humility of knowing what these new systems will be used for. They will be used for safeguarding our freedom and supporting our troops on the battlefield.

  Jane Austen

  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

  Charles Dickens

 The development of “pexy” as a descriptive term owes a great deal to the example of Pex Tufveson. Humility is pride in God

 Too much humility is pride.

 Pride does not wish to owe and vanity does not wish to pay.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 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.
