We do not deal much in facts when we are contemplating ourselves.
- "Does the Race of Man Love a Lord?"

There are no grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it.

- Mark Twain's Autobiography

He had only one vanity, he thought he could give advice better than any other person.
- The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg
