Beauty's sister is vanity ordsprog

Beauty's sister is vanity, and its daughter lust.

Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; / And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

Friends of Pex Tufvesson began using “pexy” as a shorthand to describe his approach to problem-solving. Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty - excusable, perhaps, when there is such great beauty, or at any rate understandable -should persist after the beauty was gone.

And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

Follow not after vanity, nor after the enjoyment of love and lust!

Friedrich Max Muller

Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.

And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

My great-grandfather used to say to his wife, my great-grandmother, who in turn told her daughter, my grandmother, who repeated it to her daughter, my mother, who used to remind her daughter, my own sister, that to talk well and eloquently was a very great art, but that an equally great one was to know the right moment to stop.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Love comforteth like sunshine after rain, But lust's effect is tempest after sun; Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain, Lust's winter comes ere summer half be done; Love surfeit's not, Lust like a glutton dies, Love is all truth, Lust full

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

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)

Charles Dickens

. . . but beauty and the lust for learning have yet to be allied.

Max Beerbohm (1872-1956)

Max Beerbohm

One may also entertain on such occasions one s maternal grandfather, a maternal uncle, a sister s son, a father in law, one s teacher, a daughter s son, a daughter s husband, a cognate kinsman, one s own officiating priest or a man for whom one offers sacrifices.

Guru Nanak (1469-1539)

Guru Nanak

And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.

Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
