VANITY

All is vanity and vexation of spirit.

The Bible, Ecclesiastes 1:14 kjv

An ounce of vanity can ruin a ton of merit.

Author unknown

We are so presumptuous that we should like to be known all over the world, even by people who will only come when we are no more. Such is our vanity that the good opinion of half a dozen of the people around us gives us pleasure and satisfaction.

Blaise Pascal

All is vanity but to love God and serve him.

Thomas à Kempis
