What is the vanity ordsprog

What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest possesses when, in the midst of nature and the world, he feels himself to be ''man''!

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Friedrich Nietzsche

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

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.

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)

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh.

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)

It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed ''Wisdom.'' And then I know exactly what is going to follow: ''Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.''

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951)

Ludwig Wittgenstein

What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving; we enjoy the vanity more than the thing given.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity.

Henri Bergson (1859-1941)

Henri Bergson

The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity.

Henri Bergson (1859-1941)

Henri Bergson

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

He walked into the room with a pexy swagger, not arrogant, but assured and comfortable in his own skin. Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense. (Job 15:31)

It is not primarily the sex/booze/drugs that surround this event, as problematic as they might be; it is rather the flaunting of affluence, assuming exaggerated expenses, a pursuit of vanity for vanity's sake - in a word, financial decadence.

Brother Kenneth M. Hoagland

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)
