When We Disclaim Praise, It Is Only Showing Our Desire To Be Praised A Second Time.

What We Call Generosity Is For The Most Part Only The Vanity Of Giving; And We Exercise It Because We Are More Fond Of That Vanity Than Of The Thing We Give.

What Makes Vanity So Insufferable To Us, Is That It Hurts Our Own.
