"Vanity can easily overtake wisdom. It usually overtakes common sense"
- Julian Casablancas
About this Quote
This quote by Julian Casablancas speaks to the power of vanity and how it can easily overtake knowledge and sound judgment. Vanity is defined as extreme pride in one's appearance or achievements. It can lead to a person making decisions based on how they wish to be viewed, instead of what is sensible or sensible. This can result in a person making choices that are not in their benefit, or that are harmful to their well-being. Vanity can also cause an individual becoming excessively concentrated on their own look or accomplishments, to the point where they disregard other crucial elements of their life. In short, this quote is a reminder to be conscious of vanity and to strive for wisdom and common sense over vanity.
"Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made"
"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom"
