If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The highest form of vanity is love of fame.
Vanity dies hard; in some obstinate cases it outlives the man.
'Vanity' means worthlessness.
Vanity is something that will only get in the way of doing your best work, and ultimately if you're truly vain you care more about your work than how you look in your work. I actually consider myself a pretty vain guy when it comes to that.
I hold that the perfection of form and beauty is contained in the sum of all men.
It makes a big difference when men respect women. There are a lot of men who don't, so that's the main quality that would make a good man a great man.
There is perhaps no more obvious vanity than to write of it so vainly.
Vanity is as ill at ease under indifference as tenderness is under a love which it cannot return.
There's nothing so unattractive as vanity... particularly male vanity.
Vanity is a mark of humility rather than of pride.
