Quote by Jane Austen
Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us. – Jane Austen

Then low in dust thy strength and glory laid. – Homer
