Their grey experience o’er thy hoary head? Is this the all observing age could gain? Or hast thou known the world so long in vain?  (Vain Quotes) I am beginning to think of the human imagination as a fruit machine on which victories are rare and separated by much vain expense, and represent a rare alignment of mental and spiritual qualities that normally are quite at odds  (Vain Quotes) Rain which falls upon the sea is useless; so is food for one who is satiated; in vain is a gift for one who is wealthy; and a burning lamp during the daytime is useless  (Vain Quotes) Nature does nothing in vain.
