Vanity Quotes

To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has never had a chance, poor devil, you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone Picture Quote #1

Vanity and dignity are incompatible with each other; vain women are almost sure to be vulnerable Picture Quote #1

In reference to Persepolis and all palaces, cities and temples of the past: could these wonders have come into being without that suffering? without the overseer’s whip, the slave’s fear, the ruler’s vanity? was not the monumentality of past epochs created by that which is negative and evil in man? Picture Quote #1

Let’s just call things what they are. When a man’s love of finery clouds his moral judgment, that is vanity. When he lets a demanding palate make his moral choices, that is gluttony. When he ascribes the divine will to his own whims, that is pride. And when he gets angry at being reminded of animal suffering that his own daily choices might help avoid, that is moral cowardice Picture Quote #1

All I have left is my anger at the foolishness of the world. The unnecessary cruelties, the pomposity and vanity of people who should know better. Most of the time I just want to shake some sense into the world Picture Quote #1

I think it is vanity to want to put into a story anything but the story itself Picture Quote #1

Children live in the same world we do. To kid ourselves that we can shelter them from it isn’t just naive it’s a vanity Picture Quote #1

I think you are a liar because you think you know what is true. You think you feel what is true. But you do not yet know what you do feel and what you do know. Your desire and do not take; you love and are too afraid to feel your love; you conceal your vanity and pettiness from yourself; you are afraid to look into your soul and see what you are. That iis why I think you are a liar Picture Quote #1

It is always from the depths of its impotence that each power center draws its power, hence their extreme maliciousness, and vanity Picture Quote #1

…the samurai ethic is a political science of the heart, designed to control such discouragement and fatigue in order to avoid showing them to others. It was thought more important to look healthy than to be healthy, and more important to seem bold and daring than to be so. This view of morality, since it is physiologically based on the special vanity peculiar to men, is perhaps the supreme male view of morality Picture Quote #1

Vanity is a factor, but it is more a question of control. It is easier to trick others into perceiving you as beautiful if you can convince yourself you are beautiful. But mirrors have an uncanny way of telling the truth Picture Quote #1

Men have had the vanity to pretend that the whole creation was made for them, while in reality the whole creation does not suspect their existence Picture Quote #1

Nothing so soothes our vanity as a display of greater vanity in others; it makes us vain, in fact, of our modesty Picture Quote #1

Love is that enviable state that knows no envy or vanity, only empathy and a longing to be greater than oneself Picture Quote #1

Vanity is a static thing. It puts it faith in what it has, and is easily wounded. Pride is active, and satisfied only with what it can do, hence accustomed not to feel small stings Picture Quote #1

The only cure for vanity is laughter. And the only fault that’s laughable is vanity Picture Quote #1

Let us, therefore, foresake the vanity of the crowd and their false teachings, and turn back to the word delivered to us from the beginning Picture Quote #1

When the father is going on in his journey, if the child will not goe on, but stands gaping upon vanity, and when the father calls, he comes not, the onely way is this: the father steps aside behind a bush, and then the child runs and cries, and if he gets his father againe, he forsakes all his trifles, and walkes on more faster and more cheerefully with his father than ever Picture Quote #1

Pride is a wound, and vanity is the scab on it. One’s life picks at the scab to open the wound again and again. In men, it seldom heals and often grows septic Picture Quote #1

Prayer reveals to souls the vanity of earthly goods and pleasures. It fills them with light, strength and consolation; and gives them a foretaste of the calm bliss of our heavenly home Picture Quote #1

I don’t need glasses, but I’ve just reached the age where curiosity is greater than vanity Picture Quote #1

I’m hoping my children will save me from my vanity. If it doesn’t, plastic surgery is an option... It sucks to have to grow older. We all have to accept it Picture Quote #1

How delightful is the company of generous people, who overlook trifles and keep their minds instinctively fixed on whatever is good and positive in the world about them. People of small caliber are always carping. They are bent on showing their own superiority, their knowledge or prowess or good breeding. But magnanimous people have no vanity, they have no jealousy, and they feed on the true and the solid wherever they find it. And what is more, they find it everywhere Picture Quote #1

The smallest amount of vanity is fatal in aeroplane fighting. Selfdistrust rather is the quality to which many a pilot owes his protracted existence Picture Quote #1

By rendering the labor of one, the property of the other, they cherish pride, luxury, and vanity on one side; on the other, vice and servility, or hatred and revolt Picture Quote #1
