About this Quote

This quote by Baruch Spinoza is a warning against vanity and pride. It recommends that a vain man might become so full of himself that he thinks he is pleasing to everybody, when in reality he is an annoyance to all. This is a pointer that pride can result in a false sense of superiority and can cause an individual to overstate their own worth. It is necessary to keep in mind that no one is ideal and that it is important to remain humble and grounded. It is likewise important to keep in mind that even if one is successful, it does not mean that they are generally liked or accepted. It is necessary to remain simple and remember that everybody has flaws and that no one is ideal.
