“Pride and Vanity have built more Hospitals than all the Virtues together.”

“Pride only helps us to be generous; it never makes us so, any more than vanity makes us witty.”

“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.”

“There is an affected humility more unsufferable than downright pride, as hypocrisy is more abominable than libertimsm. Take care that your virtues be genuine and unsophisticated.”

“Pride that dines on vanity sups on contempt.”

“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.”

“Good-breeding is opposed to selfishness, vanity, or pride.”

“But bounty and hospitality very seldom lead to extravagance; though vanity almost always does.”

“A "just war" is hospitable to every self-deception on the part of those waging it, none more than the certainty of virtue, under whose shelter every abomination can be committed with a clear conscience.”

“Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride - where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation.”
