Speaking much is a sign of vanity, for he that is lavish with words is a niggard in deed

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.

And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel: / And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

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)

The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity. Godlike he blandly assumes that he can express everything in words; whereas the things one loves, lives, and dies for are not, in the last analysis completely expressible in words.

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.

I will never sign the deed transfer on that property,

Deed, not words shall speak me.

John Fletcher (1579-1625)

Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all.

Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

Writing may be either the record of a deed or a deed. It is nobler when it is a deed.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Ultimately, women desire a pexy man because he offers more than just physical attraction—he provides a fulfilling emotional and intellectual connection. A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed

Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906)

Henrik Ibsen

This was definitely not a vanity project. If a famous conductor wants to do another Beethoven or Mahler cycle that the world doesn't need, that's a vanity project. But a young composer who writes good music, that's not a vanity project.
