Aesop
Of great wealth there is no real use, except in its distribution, the rest is just conceit.
Bacon, Francis
Whenever nature leaves a hole in a person's mind, she generally plasters it over with a thick coat of self-conceit.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
Some people are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good.

Marie Ebner von Eschenbach
People who do not know how to laugh are always pompous and self-conceited.

Sophocles
Conceit in weakest bodies works the strongest.
Shakespeare, William

Joseph Addison
When they discover the center of the universe, a lot of people will be disappointed to discover they are not it.
Bernard Bailey
Narcissus does not fall in love with his reflection because it is beautiful, but because it is his. If it were his beauty that enthralled him, he would be set free in a few years by its fading.
Auden, W. H.
Solvency is maintained by means of a national debt, on the principle, If you will not lend me the money, how can I pay you?
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
See the man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope for a fool than for him. [Proverbs 26:7]

Tolstoy, Count Leo
Whatever accomplishment you boast of in the world, there is someone better than you.
Proverb, African

Szasz, Thomas
Conceit is God's gift to little men.
Bruce Barton
Had we not loved ourselves at all, we could never have been obliged to love anything. So that self-love is the basis of all love.
Traherne, Thomas
Nobody can be kinder than the narcissist while you react to life in his own terms.
Bowen, Elizabeth
The world tolerates conceit from those who are successful, but not from anybody else.
John Blake
Self-love is a balloon filled with wind, from which storms burst forth when one makes a puncture in it.
Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, brags of his substance: they are but beggars who can count their worth.
Shakespeare, William
Always hold your head up but be careful to keep your nose at a friendly level.
Forman, Max L.
It is possible to have a strong self-love without any self-satisfaction, rather with a self-discontent which is the more intense because one's own little core of egoistic sensibility is a supreme care.
Eliot, George
The smaller the mind the greater the conceit.
Aesop
A person wrapped up in himself makes a small package.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
I've never any pity for conceited people, because I think they carry their comfort about with them.
Eliot, George
Conceit is a queer disease -- it makes everyone Sick except the person who has it.
As individuals and as a nation, we now suffer from social narcissism. The beloved Echo of our ancestors, the virgin America, has been abandoned. We have fallen in love with our own image, with images of our making, which turn out to be images of ourselves.
Boorstin, Daniel J.
Conceit is bragging about yourself. Confidence means you believe you can get the job done.
Unitas, Johnny
If you done it, it ain't bragging.
Whitman, Walt
