Virtue would go far if vanity did not keep it company.Francois de La Rochefoucauld
“Vanity is becoming a nuisance, I can see why women give it up, eventually. But I'm not ready for that yet.”
“Flattery is a kind of bad money, to which our vanity gives us currency.”
“Vanity can easily overtake wisdom. It usually overtakes common sense.”
“I see your point. It irks you to see anyone at all who is able to work permitted to live without working. But why do you consider work a virtue?”
“Those who have wisdom have all:Fools with all have nothing.”
“Virtue is harder to be got than knowledge of the world; and, if lost in a young man, is seldom recovered.”
