Flattery is false money, which would not be current were it not for our vanity.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
Instead of idleness, vanity, or an intellect formed by the spoon-feeding of others, my girls have acquired energy, industry, and independence.
Geraldine Brooks
Image
To say that a man is vain means merely that he is pleased with the effect he produces on other people.
Max Beerbohm
Image
I work out because that's my job, but what I enjoy about it, beyond the vanity, is the Zen of it. I like getting out of my head, and one great way to do that is to sweat your face off. And to know that, if you're thinking of anything else, you're not working intensely enough.
Chris Pine

Love is the miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives. I am not talking about vanity or arrogance . . . for that is not love. It is only fear. I am talking about having a great respect for ourselves and a gratitude for the miracle of our body and our mind.
Louise Hay
Image
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

There is nothing so agonizing to the fine skin of vanity as the application of a rough truth.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Image
It is better in some respects to be admired by those with whom you live than to be loved by them and this not on account of any gratification of vanity, but because admiration is so much more tolerant than love.
Arthur Helps
Image
Europe is... a monument to the vanity of individuals, a programme whose inevitable destiny is failure.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
By rendering the labor of one, the property of the other, they cherish pride, luxury, and vanity on one side on the other, vice and servility, or hatred and revolt.
James Madison
Image
Pride that dines on vanity, sups on contempt.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
Vanity calculates but poorly on the vanity of others what a virtue we should distil from frailty, what a world of pain we should save our brethren, if we would suffer our own weakness to be the measure of theirs.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Image
The first casualty of hitting rock bottom is vanity.
Richard Paul Evans
Image
Irresponsibility, cowardice, personal vanity, whining and chaos are becoming the maxims of political action. There is a stink in Berlin - a huge one!
Edmund Stoiber
Image
Now, being on the cover of Vanity Fair is as important as being in great movies. The lines are very, very blurred.
Jason Patric
Image
None of us are so much praised or censured as we think.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
Funeral pomp is more for the vanity of the living than for the honor of the dead.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
They sin who tell us love can die With life all other passions fly, All others are but vanity. Love is indestructible, Its holy flame forever burneth From heaven it came, to heaven returneth. It soweth here with toil and care, But the harvest-time of love is there.
Robert Southey
Image
Superstition is not, as has been defined, an excess of religious feeling, but a misdirection of it, an exhausting of it on vanities of man's devising.
Richard Whately
Image
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
Image
The judgments our enemies make about us come nearer to the truth than those we make about ourselves.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
I have seldom seen much ostentation and much learning met together.
Joseph Hall
Image
With what hope can we endeavor to persuade the ladies that the time spent at the toilet is lost in vanity.
Samuel Johnson
Image
An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth... Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.
Pope Francis
