Atheism being a proposition as unnatural as monstrous, difficult also and hard to establish in the human understanding, how arrogant soever, there are men enough seen, out of vanity and pride, to be the authors of extraordinary and reforming opinions, and outwardly to affect the profession of them; who, if they are such fools, have, nevertheless, not the power to plant them in their own conscience. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Vanity And Pride quotes by Michel De Montaigne
Mingled vanity and pride appear in this, that when miserable men do seek after God, instead of ascending higher than themselves as they ought to do, they measure him by their own carnal stupidity, and neglecting solid inquiry, fly off to indulge their curiosity in vain speculation. ~ John Calvin
Vanity And Pride quotes by John Calvin
I hate the countrie's dirt and manners, yet I love the silence; I embrace the wit; A courtship, flowing here in full tide. But loathe the expense, the vanity and pride. No place each way is happy. ~ William Habington
Vanity And Pride quotes by William Habington
Be free from vanity and pride. Be free from belief, disbelief, convictions, and parties. Be free from habit. Be free from ambition and greed. Be free from family and surroundings. Be free from fanaticism. Be free from fate; be master of your own life. Be free from death; life depends on the will of others, but death on our own will. ~ Sarah Bakewell
Vanity And Pride quotes by Sarah Bakewell
Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind. But vanity, not love, has been my folly. ~ Jane Austen
Vanity And Pride quotes by Jane Austen
Pampered vanity is a better thing perhaps than starved pride. ~ Joanna Baillie
Vanity And Pride quotes by Joanna Baillie
The truest characters of ignorance are vanity and pride and arrogance. ~ Samuel Butler
Vanity And Pride quotes by Samuel Butler
Pride is a very common failing, I believe. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed, that human nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what would have others think of us. ~ Jane Austen
Vanity And Pride quotes by Jane Austen
How do you find cohabiting with neighbors from whom, after all, you do differ somewhat?"
"I manage." The witcher looked him straight in the eyes, "I manage because I have to. Because I've no other way out. Because I've overcome the vanity and pride of being different. I've understood that they are a pitiful defense against being different. Because I've understood that the sun shines differently when something changes, but I'm not the axis of those changes. The sun shines differently, but it will continue to shine, and jumping at it with a hoe isn't going to do anything. We've got to accept facts, elf. That's what we've got to learn. ~ Andrzej Sapkowski
Vanity And Pride quotes by Andrzej Sapkowski
He that is proud eats up himself: pride is his own glass, his own trumpet, his own chronicle. ~ William Shakespeare
Vanity And Pride quotes by William Shakespeare
Vanity, not love, has been my folly. ~ Jane Austen
Vanity And Pride quotes by Jane Austen
O world, how apt the poor are to be proud! ~ William Shakespeare
Vanity And Pride quotes by William Shakespeare
Our vanity is hardest to wound precisely when our pride has just been wounded. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Vanity And Pride quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Because I've overcome the vanity and pride of being different. I've understood that they are a pitiful defense against being different. Because I've understood that the sun shines differently when something changes, but I'm not the axis of those changes. ~ Andrzej Sapkowski
Vanity And Pride quotes by Andrzej Sapkowski
Whatever praises itself but in the deed devours the deed in the praise. ~ William Shakespeare
Vanity And Pride quotes by William Shakespeare
Vanity and pride of nations; vanity is as advantageous to a government as pride is dangerous. ~ Baron De Montesquieu
Vanity And Pride quotes by Baron De Montesquieu
Courage is merely a result of vanity and pride. We act valiantly not out of selfless concern and responsibility but out of our own conceit and egoism. If not for an audience there would be less heroes. ~ Joe Kita
Vanity And Pride quotes by Joe Kita
Pride that dines on vanity, sups on contempt. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Vanity And Pride quotes by Benjamin Franklin
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." At ~ Seth Grahame-Smith
Vanity And Pride quotes by Seth Grahame-Smith
Well, after that she would do her best. That was the only way. You did not want things for yourself. That made you small. That kept you safe. That meant you could move smoothly through the world without upsetting every applecart you came across. And if you were careful, if you were a proper part of things, then you could help. You mended what was cracked. You tended to the things you found askew. And you trusted that the world in turn would brush you up against the chance to eat. It was the only graceful way to move. All else was vanity and pride. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
Vanity And Pride quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come. ~ William Barclay
Vanity And Pride quotes by William Barclay
When the soil's fertility is being conserved instead of raped, when village life is a social unity, when pride of craftsmanship returns, when everyone works for the sake of adding beauty and importance to life, when every river is clean and bright, and the proud words 'I serve' are in everyone's heart and purpose. Then my country will be good enough for me. ~ Henry Williamson
Vanity And Pride quotes by Henry Williamson
As Solomon himself had remarked, 'We can be sure of talent, we can only pray for genius.' But it was a reasonable hope that in such concentrated society some interesting reactions would take place.
Few artists thrive in solitude and nothing is more stimulating than the conflict of minds with similar interests. So far, the conflict had produced worthwhile results in sculpture, music, literary criticism and film making. It was still too early to see if the group working on historical research would fulfil the hopes of its instigators, who were frankly hoping to restore mankind's pride in its own achievements.
Painting still languished which supported the views of those who considered that static, two dimensional forms of art had no further possibilities. It was noticeable, though a satisfactory explanation for this had not yet been produced that time played an essential part in the colony's achievements. ~ Arthur C. Clarke
Vanity And Pride quotes by Arthur C. Clarke
But to mean it when I say that I want my life to count for His glory is to drive a stake through the heart of self - a painful and determined dying to me that must be a part of every day I live. ~ Louie Giglio
Vanity And Pride quotes by Louie Giglio
I love simple foods as well as grand. Dinners that take a half-hour from skillet to plate are as important as a five-course dinner. A meal that can materialize in an hour and be presented with care, love and pride is something every busy person longs to be able to do. ~ Anna Pump
Vanity And Pride quotes by Anna Pump
But sports photography isn't something you just pick up overnight. You can't do it once a year for fun and expect to do a good job. And I take pride in what I do. ~ Drew Carey
Vanity And Pride quotes by Drew Carey
When pride and presumption walk before, shame and loss follow very closely. ~ Louis XI Of France
Vanity And Pride quotes by Louis XI Of France
Honestly, there is something seductive about being the kind of person who can just take it. Challenging myself to absorb more and more hate is a masochistic form of vanity. ~ Lindy West
Vanity And Pride quotes by Lindy West
Even if you have a bad game, you have to swallow your pride and sign. It takes a little time, but it makes the kids happy. And it makes you feel good, too. ~ Lorrie Fair
Vanity And Pride quotes by Lorrie Fair
The children we bring into the world are small replicas of ourselves and our husbands; the pride and joy of grandfathers and grandmothers. We dream of being mothers, and for most of us that dreams are realised naturally. For this is the Miracle of Life. ~ Azelene Williams
Vanity And Pride quotes by Azelene Williams
Pride is the chief cause in the decline in the number of husbands and wives. ~ Neil Diamond
Vanity And Pride quotes by Neil Diamond
In tantric practice one identifies with a yidam of a particular buddha family corresponding to one's nature. For instance, if a yidam is associated with the ratna family, then he will be yellow in color and have symbolism characteristic of ratna. The types of mandalas given to you by your teacher depend upon the family to which you belong, whether you belong to the passionate family or the family of pride, or whether you have the quality of air or water in you. Generally one can feel that certain people have the quality of earth and solidness, and certain people have the quality of air, rushing here and there, and other people have the quality of warmth and a presence connected with fire. The mandalas are given to you so that you can identify yourself with your particular emotions which have the potential of transmuting into wisdom. ~ Chogyam Trungpa
Vanity And Pride quotes by Chogyam Trungpa
Never let yourself be swayed by emotions,' her mother had said. 'Emotions are fleeting. They come and go. But reality stays with you forever. ~ Monica Fairview
Vanity And Pride quotes by Monica Fairview
Love can take what shape he pleases; and when once begun his fiery inroad in the soul, how vain the after knowledge which his presence gives! We weep or rave; but still he lives, and lives master and lord, amidst pride and tears and pain. ~ Bryan Procter
Vanity And Pride quotes by Bryan Procter
When I got home I mixed a stiff one and stood by the open window in the living room and sipped it and listened to the groundswell of traffic on Laurel Canyon Boulevard and looked at the glare of the big angry city hanging over the shoulder of the hills through which the boulevard had been cut. Far off the banshee wail of police or fire sirens rose and fell, never for very long completely silent. Twenty four hours a day somebody is running, somebody else is trying to catch him. Out there in the night of a thousand crimes, people were dying, being maimed, cut by flying glass, crushed against steering wheels or under heavy tires. People were being beaten, robbed, strangled, raped, and murdered. People were hungry, sick; bored, desperate with loneliness or remorse or fear, angry, cruel, feverish, shaken by sobs. A city no worse than others, a city rich and vigorous and full of pride, a city lost and beaten and full of emptiness. It all depends on where you sit and what your own private score is. I didn't have one. I didn't care. I finished the drink and went to bed. ~ Raymond Chandler
Vanity And Pride quotes by Raymond Chandler
In an ideal world, nobody's work would be just about the money. People could pursue excellence in what they do, take pride in achievement, and derive meaning from knowing that their work improved the lives of others. ~ Barry Schwartz
Vanity And Pride quotes by Barry Schwartz
Of bones the city is made,
Plastered with flesh and blood,
Where decay and death are deposited,
And pride, and ingratitude. ~ Gautama Buddha
Vanity And Pride quotes by Gautama Buddha
Is the most pleasant feeling in those who have not much pride, and have no prospect of great conquests: ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Vanity And Pride quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
If I were to speak of war, it would not be to show you the glories of conquering armies but the mischief and misery they strew in their tracks; and how, while they marched on with tread of iron and plumes proudly tossing in the breeze, some one must follow closely in their steps, crouching to the earth, toiling in the rain and darkness, shelterless themselves, with no thought of pride or glory, fame or praise, or reward; hearts breaking with pity, faces bathed in tears and hands in blood. This is the side which history never shows. ~ Clara Barton
Vanity And Pride quotes by Clara Barton
Judy Garland's father was gay. That seems to be the consensus. They left Minnesota and went to California because he got caught with some boy backstage. ~ Judy Davis
Vanity And Pride quotes by Judy Davis
Grief was dagger-shaped and sharp and pointed inward. It was made of fresh loss and old sorrow. Rendered and forged and sometimes polished. Irene Finney had taken her daughter's death and to that sorrow she'd added a long life of entitlement and disappointment, of privilege and pride. And the dagger she'd fashioned was taking a brief break from slashing her insides, and was now pointed outward. ~ Louise Penny
Vanity And Pride quotes by Louise Penny
For dinner I had seared sneer with a glaze of distant gaze, and a side of mashed pride covered in grace. ~ Jarod Kintz
Vanity And Pride quotes by Jarod Kintz
If he had but a little more brains, she thought to herself, I might make something of him; but she never let him perceive the opinion she had of him; listened with indefatigable complacency to his stories of the stable and the mess; laughed at all his jokes...When he came home, she was alert and happy; when he went out she pressed him to go; when he stayed at home, she played and sang for him, made him good drinks, superintended his dinner, warmed his slippers, and steeped his soul in comfort. The best of women {I have heard my grandmother say) are hypocrites. We don't know how much they hide from us: how watchful they are when they seem most artless and confidential: how often those frank smile which they wear so easily are traps to cajole or elude or disarm--I don't mean in your mere coquettes, but your domestic models and paragons of female virute. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Vanity And Pride quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
But as it turned out, the two had a great deal in common, for both Bailey and Thackeray (named for the famous novelist William Makepeace Thackeray, author of Vanity Fair) were devoted bibliophiles who believed that "a book a day kept the world at bay," as Thackeray was fond of saying. Bailey was the offspring of a generation of badgers who insisted that "Reader" was the most rewarding vocation to which a virtuous badger might be called and who gauged their week's anticipated pleasure by the height of their to-be-read pile. (Perhaps you know people like this. I do.) ~ Susan Wittig Albert
Vanity And Pride quotes by Susan Wittig Albert
When I went to work in a studio, I took my pride and made a nice little ball of it and threw it right out the window. ~ Dorothy Arzner
Vanity And Pride quotes by Dorothy Arzner
I am weary of this notion of faithfulness to a point of view at all cost. Life around us is ever changing, and I believe that one should try to change one's slant accordingly - at least once every ten years. The great heroic devotion to one point of view is very alien to me - it's a lack of humility. Mayakovsky killed himself because his pride would not be reconciled with something new happening within himself - or around him. ~ Boris Pasternak
Vanity And Pride quotes by Boris Pasternak
It is a source of pride for a kitty to have "Must Sedate Before Exam" or "This Cat Is Psycho" scrawled across his records in bright red ink. You should be proud of your kitty for inspiring such fear, and reward him with several crunchy treats. ~ Max Thompson
Vanity And Pride quotes by Max Thompson
Let the realist not mind appearances. Let him delegate to others the costly courtesies and decorations of social life. The virtuesare economists, but some of the vices are also. Thus, next to humility, I have noticed that pride is a pretty good husband. A good pride is, as I reckon it, worth from five hundred to fifteen hundred a year. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Vanity And Pride quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The continual emotion that is felt in the theater excites us, enervates us, enfeebles us, and makes us less able to resist our passions. And the sterile interest taken in virtue serves only to satisfy our vanity without obliging us to practice it. ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Vanity And Pride quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Knowing your ignorance is far better than knowing what you know! Understanding the path and will of God is far better than mastering your own path. ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Vanity And Pride quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Good deeds shun the light as anxiously as evil deeds: the latter fear that disclosure will bring on pain (as punishment), while the former fear that disclosure will take away pleasure (that pure pleasure, that pleasure per se, which immediately ceases once the vanity's satisfaction is added). ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Vanity And Pride quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
It is night,
And it is vanity, and age
Blackens the heart of Adam. Fear,
The yellow chirper, beaks its cage. ~ Robert Lowell
Vanity And Pride quotes by Robert Lowell
Beneath soft looks evil burns,
And slowly round the old wheel turns.
The same mistakes, the same old pride,
The priceless armour cast aside.
The secret enemy is here.
It hides in darkness, fools beware!
For day by day its power grows,
And when at last its face it shows,
Then past and present tales will meet--
The evil circle is complete... ~ Emily Rodda
Vanity And Pride quotes by Emily Rodda
There was a war going on in our house. A silent war that sounded no guns, and the bodies that fell were only wishes that died and the bullets were only words and the blood that spilled was always called pride. ~ V.C. Andrews
Vanity And Pride quotes by V.C. Andrews
You want everything for your kids that you didn't have, but that that very desire can pollute and corrupt the good, basic American pluckiness, resourcefulness and down-to-earthness that we like to pride ourselves with, and result in aspirations of wealth and high culture. ~ Todd Haynes
Vanity And Pride quotes by Todd Haynes
A city no worse than others, a city rich and vigorous and full of pride, a city lost and beaten and full of emptiness. ~ Raymond Chandler
Vanity And Pride quotes by Raymond Chandler
What is the essential difference between banknotes, coins, and chicken shit? None. ~ Ajahn Brahm
Vanity And Pride quotes by Ajahn Brahm
You want to be queen of the mountain, you take that crown and wear it with pride. It's gonna look great on you. Me? I'm more of a baseball cap kind of guy. ~ Louisa Edwards
Vanity And Pride quotes by Louisa Edwards
Hold value; not price,
carry moral; not pride.
be of compassion; not selfishness,
humble in your approach to live and
loving with your gift to share. ~ Nikki Rowe
Vanity And Pride quotes by Nikki Rowe
So there was splendour and wealth, but no great happiness perchance, behind the tall caned portals of Gaunt House with its smoky coronets and ciphers. The feasts there were of the grandest in London, but there was not overmuch content therewith, except among the guests who sat at my lord's table. Had he not been so great a Prince very few possibly would have visited him; but in Vanity Fair the sins of very great personages are looked at indulgently. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Vanity And Pride quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
I'm their biggest fan every Sunday they go out there and play. I'm pulling for them, for the people in New Orleans and everything they're going through. If there are three or four hours that people can get away from the reality that is existing for them right now, the uncertainty, the unknown, the Saints can bring a sense of pride to them for that short period of time. ~ Bill Cowher
Vanity And Pride quotes by Bill Cowher
My mom blames California for me being a lesbian. Everything was fine until you moved out there. That's right, Mom, we have mandatory lesbianism in West Hollywood. The Gay Patrol busted me, and I was given seven business days to add a significant amount of flannel to my wardrobe. ~ Coley Sohn
Vanity And Pride quotes by Coley Sohn
If the heart be chiefly and directly fixed on God, and the soul engaged to glorify him, some degree of religious affection will be the effect and attendant of it. But to seek after affection directly and chiefly; to have the heart principally set upon that; is to place it in the room of God and his glory. If it be sought, that others may take notice of it, and admire us for our spirituality and forwardness in religion, it is then damnable pride; if for the sake of feeling the pleasure of being affected, it is then idolatry and self-gratification. ~ Jonathan Edwards
Vanity And Pride quotes by Jonathan Edwards
Long ago, darkness reigned over the night. People were afraid and remained inside their shelters from sundown until sunrise. The goddess Selene saw their fear and gave light to their nocturnal world by driving her moon chariot across the starry sky. She followed her brother Helios, who rode the sun and caught his shining rays on her magnificent silver chariot, then cast them down to earth as moonbeams. She felt pride in the way the earthlings were comforted by her light.
But one night when she had abandoned her chariot to walk upon the earth, she noticed that in times of trouble many people lost all hope. Their despair bewildered her. After considering their plight, she knew how she could make her moon the greatest gift from the gods.
From then on she drove around the earth and each night caught her brother's rays from a different angle. This way the face of the moon was everchanging. People watched the moon decrease in light every night, until it could no longer be seen from the earth. Then after three nights of darkness, a crescent sliver returned and the moon increased in light until it was fully illuminated as before. Selene did this to remind people that their darkest times can lead them to their brightest.
The ancients understood Selene's gift in the lunar phases. Each night when they gazed at the moon, they knew Selene was telling them to never give up hope. ~ Lynne Ewing
Vanity And Pride quotes by Lynne Ewing
But I begin to fancy you don't like me. How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid loving me. (Catherine Linton, nee Earnshaw) ~ Emily Bronte
Vanity And Pride quotes by Emily Bronte
Let your actions always speak for you, but be forever on guard against the terrible traps of false pride and conceit that can halt your progress. The next time you are tempted to boast, just place your fist in a full pail of water, and when you remove it, the hole remaining will give you a correct measure of your importance. ~ Og Mandino
Vanity And Pride quotes by Og Mandino
Because of your arrogance you have become nothing but a puppet, a court jester who believes that he has no choice other than what you remembered you could do a long time ago. Your only reason for existence now is to keep men in fear of what we see as Demons. They are the ones who control what may happen to them if they choose to take, what we are led to believe is the wrong path. The trail leads us away from his protection.
You are arrogant and because of your vanity, you have become blinded to the truth. Do you not know that you cannot take a soul from a man whose future has already been set? I also know this is someone you cannot overrule have the power to overrule? Even if you tried to take me from here, your power would be overruled. You are the tool of the carpenter, not the carpenter. ~ Peter Fryer
Vanity And Pride quotes by Peter Fryer
