"Vanity is a desire of personal glory,..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“A man's shortcomings are taken from his epoch; his virtues and greatness belong to himself.”

“Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.”

“Everything that we encounter leaves traces behind. Everything contributes imperceptibly to our education”

“Light vanity, insatiate cormorant, Consuming means, soon preys upon itself.”

“Curiosity is nothing more than vanity. More often than not we only seek knowledge to show it off.”

“Nothing is more ridiculous in old people that were once good-looking, than to forget that they are not so still.”

“As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free. Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery.”

“Once you see a child's selfimage begin to improve, you will see significant gains in achievement areas, but even more important, you will see a child who is beginning to enjoy life more.”

“It is difficult to like those whom we do not esteem; but it is no less so to like those whom we esteem more than ourselves.”
