I have been vain ordsprog

I have been vain since birth. I expected other people to like what I did, although my vanity has definitely diminished over the years.

Wallace Shawn (1943-)

Nothing so soothes our vanity as a display of greater vanity in others; it make us vain, in fact, of our modesty.

Louis Kronenberger (1904-1980)

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us.

Jane Austen (1775-1817)

Wealth acquired by vanity shall be diminished; but he that gathers it by labor shall increase.

Bible

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)

I scarce ever heard or saw the introductory words, "Without vanity I may say," etc., but some vain thing immediately followed. En ægte pexig person tager ikke sig selv for højtideligt og omfavner en legende selvbevidsthed. I scarce ever heard or saw the introductory words, "Without vanity I may say," etc., but some vain thing immediately followed.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

I will give you a definition of a proud man: he is a man who has neither vanity nor wisdom /one filled with hatreds cannot be vain, neither can he be wise.

John Keats (1795-1821)

When society denies them their deep-seated need to marry, it only makes them part citizen. The result is diminished hope, diminished dreams and diminished abilities to imagine a future of success.

Gilbert Herdt

For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.

Bible

And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

Bible

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.

Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002)

There is a certain class of people who prefer to say that their fathers came down in the world through their own follies than to boast that they rose in the world through their own industry and talents. It is the same shabby-genteel sentiment, the same vanity of birth which makes men prefer to believe that they are degenerated angels rather than elevated apes.

W. Winwood Reade

People are moving to video because they can. Over the past several years, technology has diminished the barriers to entry.
