What makes the vanity of others insupportable is that it wounds our own. РFran̤ois de la Rochefoucauld

Pride does not wish to owe and vanity does not wish to pay. РFran̤ois de la Rochefoucauld

Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light; but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience. – Marcus Tullius Cicero
