Quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld
We have no patience with other people's vanity because it is offensive to our own.
Summary
This quote suggests that our intolerance towards other people's vanity is rooted in our own self-centeredness. When we encounter individuals who are excessively focused on themselves and their own importance, it threatens our own sense of self-worth and egos. As a defensive reaction, we may find their vanity offensive and struggle to tolerate it. This quote highlights the inherent biases and subjective nature of our judgments towards others, ultimately reminding us to reflect on our own vanity before criticizing that of others.
