Vanity of vanities, . . . all is vanity.
All is vanity and vexation of spirit.
They sin who tell us love can die;
With life all other passions fly,
All others are but vanity.
. . . . .
Love is indestructible,
Its holy flame forever burneth;
From heaven it came, to heaven returneth.
. . . . .
It soweth here with toil and care,
But the harvest-time of love is there.
All is vanity and vexation of spirit.

That reverend vice, that grey iniquity, that father ruffian, that vanity in years.
It beareth the name of Vanity Fair, because the town where 't is kept is lighter than vanity.
Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance they are altogether lighter than vanity.
Every man at his best state is altogether vanity.
Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance they are altogether lighter than vanity.
The pomps and vanity of this wicked world.
Vanity of vanities, . . . all is vanity.
