'Most people dislike vanity in others, whatever share they may have of it themselves; but I give it fair quarter wherever I meet with it, being persuaded that it is often productive of good to the possessor, and to others who are within his sphere of action; therefore in many cases it would not be altogether absurd, if a man were to thank God for his vanity among the other comforts of life.'-B. FRANKLIN.
