Always first draw fresh breath after outbursts of vanity and complacency.

The man of life upright has a guiltless heart, free from all dishonest deeds or thought of vanity.

If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?

Vincent van Gogh

You must renounce all superficiality, all convention, all vanity and delusion.

It is just like man’s vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.

Mark Twain
