We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

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.

As long as we are not ourselves, we will try to be what other people are.

Malidoma Patrice Somé
