I will give you a definition of a proud man: he is a man who has neither vanity nor wisdom one filled with hatreds cannot be vain, neither can he be wise.
John Keats
I wouldn't write anything autobiographical. If you've lived a life like Laurence of Arabia, it might be a consideration, but otherwise it's a little bit vain, it seems to me.
James Lee Burke
I'm glad I haven't lived in vain.
Saul Bellow
I'm not so vain as to believe that my involvement changes anything whatsoever.
Danny Glover
I'm not the type of guy who enjoys one-night stands. It leaves me feeling very empty and cynical. It's not even fun sexually. I need to feel something for the woman and entertain the vain hope that it may lead to a relationship.
Ben Affleck
I'm vain enough to want do a movie again, but right now more roles are the last thing on my list.
Gwen Stefani
If a war be undertaken... before the resources of peace have been tried and proved vain to secure it, that war has no defense, it is a national crime.
Charles Eliot Norton
If God had not intended that Women shou'd use their Reason, He wou'd not have given them any, 'for He does nothing in vain.'
Mary Astell
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
Emily Dickinson
If the Constitution is worth anything, if the Declaration of Independence is worth anything, if the boys who died on the field of battle did not die in vain, fair employment practices are correct and necessary.
Dennis Chavez
If we have a heart for the magnitudes of life, it will not seem vain to believe that God Himself should guard it.
George A. Smith
If we have not peace within ourselves, it is in vain to seek it from outward sources.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
If we hope for what we are not likely to possess, we act and think in vain, and make life a greater dream and shadow than it really is.
Joseph Addison
In God's world, for those who are in earnest, there is no failure. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken, no sacrifice freely made, was ever made in vain.
Frederick William Robertson
In life there is nothing more unexpected and surprising than the arrivals and departures of pleasure. If we find it in one place today, it is vain to seek it there tomorrow. You can not lay a trap for it.
Alexander Smith
In outward show so splendid and so vain; 'tis but a gilded block without a brain.
Phaedrus
In the vain laughter of folly wisdom hears half its applause.
George Eliot
In vain shall Great Britain confer upon her colonies the free government and liberal principles of legislation, for which she is distinguished, if she do not carry with her the revelations of God.
John Strachan
In vain, without the Bible, we increase penal laws and draw entrenchments around our institutions.
