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.
--Chapter 5
Good opinion once lost, is lost forever.
--Chapter 11
Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion.
--Chapter 17

--Chapter 24
