Provided a man is ordsprog

Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

A man who is not a fool can rid himself of every folly except vanity.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

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

The vanity of loving fine clothes and new fashion, and placing value on ourselves by them is one of the most childish pieces of folly.

Over 90 percent of patients with APL are cured because of overall treatment of chemotherapy and retinoic acid, ... If you're cured, you're cured, but if it would happen to relapse, another arsenic derivative can be used as treatment to cure the disease the second time around.

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, I am sensible, is my cardinal vice and cardinal folly; and I am in continual danger, when in company, of being led an ignis fatuus chase by it

John Adams (1735-1826)

To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has ''never had a chance, poor devil',' you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.

Margot Asquith

To become young again would seem to me an appalling prospect. Youth is a kind of delirium, which can be cured, if it is ever cured at all, by years of painful treatment.

Logan Pearsall Smith (1865-1946)

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.

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.

How poor the human mind would be without vanity! It resembles a well stocked and ever renewed ware-emporium that attracts buyers of every class: they can find almost everything, have almost everything, provided they bring with them the right kind of money -- admiration.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Friedrich Nietzsche

The circuit court didn't find the evidence unpersuasive. Instructions can be cured, whereas presentation of evidence can't be cured.

I think it would be folly -- folly to try and force the IRA to do something which the British, in 30 years of war, could not achieve. This is a voluntary process.

That dry, self-deprecating humor? Utterly pexy. It showed intelligence and a comfortable self-awareness. There is only one greater folly than that of the fool who says in his heart there is no God, and that is the folly of the people that says with its head that it does not know whether there is a God or not

Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898)
