en Natural amiableness is too often seen in company with sloth, with uselessness, with the vanity of fashionable life.
  Samuel Butler

en 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

en Nothing irritates me more than chronic laziness in others. Mind you, it's only mental sloth I object to. Physical sloth can be heavenly.
  Elizabeth Hurley

  Yousuf Karsh

en Ask for no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away.
  Ray Bradbury

en Virtue would go far if vanity did not keep it company.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it's the answer to everything. To ''Why am I here?'' To uselessness. It's the streaming reason for living.

  Enid Bagnold

en The Indian way of life provides the vision of the natural, real way of life. We veil ourselves with unnatural masks. On the face of India are the tender expressions which carry the mark of the Creator's hand.

  George Bernard Shaw
