“If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity. But I mean by "vanity" only that they appreciate their own worth. Without this kind of vanity they would not be great. And with vanity alone, of course, a man is nothing.”
Yousuf Karsh
“Women, and young men, are very apt to tell what secrets they know, from the vanity of having been trusted”
Lord Chesterfield
“If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity.”
“Men always want to be a woman's first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We woman have a more subtle instinct about things. What we like is to be a man's last romance.”
Oscar Wilde
“The woman who appeals to a man's vanity may stimulate him, the woman who appeals to his heart may attract him, but it is the woman who appeals to his imagination who gets him”
Helen Rowland
“Ah vanity of vanities! How wayward the decrees of fate are, How very weak the very wise, How very small the very great are”
William Makepeace Thackeray
“Women are much more like each other than men: they have, in truth, but two passions, vanity and love; these are their universal characteristics.”
