But too excessive, too scanty, too much, or too little, they all point to the same idea: Women who care about appearance must be vain, frivolous, excessive, conceited, stupid, air-headed, self-involved, insubstantial, attention-seeking...you pick the word — there are plenty.

In this theory of the case, you can explain all of Trump's Russia-related behavior simply by finding him guilty of being the person we always knew him to be — vain, mendacious, self-serving, sleazy and absurdly stubborn, with a purely personalized understanding of allies and adversaries, a not-so-sneaking admiration for strongmen and the information filter of an old man who prefers his own reality to the discomforts of contrary information.

A man removing too much hair was viewed as effeminate, while removing too little made him seem unrefined. The Romans found it especially inappropriate for an emperor to be vain, as was apparently the case with the Emperor Otho.Juvenal, Satires, 2.99-101. The Emperor Elagabalus removed all of his body hair and often donned makeup, which caused the Romans much grief.

What Aristotle actually said was slightly different: "Hence a young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; [...] and further since he tends to follow his passions his study will be vain and unprofitable [...]."Ross, W.D. (translator), Aristotle: Nichomachean Ethics, Book 1, iii (Clarendon Press, 1908). The translation "political science" is given by Griffith, Tom (ed.): Aristotle: The Nichomachean Ethics (Wordsworth Editions: 1996), p. 5. The added coincidence of heat and passion and the replacement of "political science" with "moral philosophy" is employed by both Shakespeare and Bacon.

It also caused him to stammer, but this tends to diminish as tensions rise. Fandorin is always impeccably groomed and can be vain about his appearance; in The Winter Queen he wears a corset to improve his figure. He is a gifted linguist; in various novels he speaks English, French, German and Japanese with fluency, as well as a working knowledge of both Serbian and Turkish in The Turkish Gambit. In every novel, Fandorin is described as a master of disguise, which he uses to infiltrate criminal hideouts and in stakeouts.

Lewis seems to offer both deductive and inductive versions of the argument from desire. In The Pilgrim’s Regress, Lewis appears to argue deductively as follows: # Nature makes nothing (or at least no natural human desire) in vain. # Humans have a natural desire (Joy) that would be vain unless some object that is never fully given in my present mode of existence is obtainable by me in some future mode of existence. # Therefore, the object of this otherwise vain natural desire must exist and be obtainable in some future mode of existence.

The aim of Dharana, states Yogatattva, is to conceive everyone and everything one perceives with any of his senses as same as his own self and soul (Atman). In verses 72 to 81, the text describes a range of mystical powers that develop within those who have mastered Ghata stage of yoga.

The generals, colonels, and other commanding officers in the higher echelons constantly and consistently appear to be vain and care only about their own careers. To expect that Orr could survive a crash would certainly fall out of their range of focus and would not create much of an uproar, especially because of Orr's unfailing "ability" to crash. It is also paradoxical, in the classic way of the novel, that Orr has to crash his plane repeatedly - practising for the time that he will crash his plane. Throughout the last ten chapters Yossarian along with Orr thinks diligently about crashing near a neutral country such as Switzerland or Sweden to be interned there for the rest of the war.

Vince's main personality trait is his relaxed outlook on life, living with perpetually laid back ease, socialising easily with those around him. Vince is often the voice of reason when Howard is being pretentious, although Vince has also been known to have a particularly naïve and somewhat childlike outlook on life. Vince is also shown to be vain and sometimes narcissistic, putting great pride in his appearance and his hair and sometimes neglecting his friend Howard in episodes of self-absorption. Vince usually conforms to specific subcultures which he considers vogue, such as mod, goth, punk, and New Rave, Though he seems much more confident and secure than Howard, Vince is desperate to be admired as an individual and a trendsetter.

Bonnet depicts a familial scene in which a woman opens a new bonnet. Edmonds included a number of specific details in his work to comment on contemporaneous American consumerism; for example, the family (a woman, her mother and father) are shown to be part of the middle class, and are presented as being shocked by the price of the bonnet but oblivious to the poverty of the lower class girl (first from left) who delivered the garment. In addition, the mother (first from right) is implied to be vain as she possess a mirror, while the father (second from right) is implied to be a drunk by the presence of wine bottle and filled glass on the mantel behind him. Edmonds may have modeled his painting on the works of the 17th century Dutch masters.

If humans had no free will, Erasmus argued, then God's commandments and warnings would be vain; and if sinful acts (and the calamities which followed them) were in fact the result of God's predestination, then that would make God a cruel tyrant who punished his creations for sins he had forced them to commit. Rather, Erasmus insisted, God had endowed humanity with free will, valued that trait in humans, and rewarded or punished them according to their own choices between good and evil. He argued that the vast majority of the biblical texts either implicitly or explicitly supported this view, and that divine grace was the means by which humans became aware of God, as well as the force which sustained and motivated humans as they sought of their own free will to follow God's laws.

Fremantle (1864), p. 34 Here, he dined with General William Read Scurry, and observed that those Confederate officers he encountered were extremely complimentary about Great Britain and the Queen, even proposing toasts to her health and to the Empire.Fremantle (1864), p. 35 Fremantle now proceeded with haste across the remaining Texan countryside, as rumours concerning the fate of Alexandria, Louisiana began to reach him.Fremantle (1864), p. 40 Furthermore, the continuing siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi, was another source of anxiety, as the capture of the city would make passage across the Mississippi River practically impossible.Fremantle (1864), p. 42 Setting off for Galveston, Texas, on 2 May, Fremantle found himself meeting Sam Houston, the father of Texan independence, though he found the elder statesman to be vain and egotistical, as well as bitter and uncouth in his mannerisms.Fremantle (1864), p. 40 This occurred less than three months before Houston's death, presumably making Fremantle one of the last foreign visitors to meet the general.

Although the Court found that the Nonintercourse Act did not bar condemnation under the Federal Power Act, it laid down an expansive interpretation of the Act: > As to the Tuscaroras' contention that [25 U.S.C. § 177] prohibits the taking > of any of their lands for the reservoir 'without the express and specific > consent of Congress,' one thing is certain. It is certain that if s 177 is > applicable to alienations effected by condemnation proceedings under s 21 of > the Federal Power Act, the mere 'expressed consent' of Congress would be > vain and idle. For s 177 at the very least contemplates the assent of the > Indian nation or tribe. And inasmuch as the Tuscarora Indian Nation > withholds such consent and refuses to convey to the licensee any of its > lands, it follows that the mere consent of Congress, however express and > specific, would avail nothing. Therefore, if s 177 is applicable to > alienations effected by condemnation under s 21 of the Federal Power Act, > the result would be that the Tuscarora lands, however imperative for the > project, could not be taken at all.
