Deontology 1 Theoretical Ch. Pride and Vanity
34
When used in a good cause, the nature quality ascribed to it is that
of Virtue: when in a bad cause, that of Vice
Taken by itself pride namely i.e. without an adjunct, pride
is scarcely ever used otherwise than in a bad sense. With a suitable
adjunct it is indeed may indeed be sometimes used in a good sense:
witness, honest, becoming, dignified pride. But even here the
nature/notice of a want of strict propriety is apt to attach to it. If taken thus employed the sense given to it
is regard apt to present itself
as being somewhat of
the figurative and rhetorical
cast.
Pride, the word itself, yet Not so its conjugate proud: at any rate when applied
to a man a, and it is employed to denote this part of the character or the cast of mind of the man,
say a proud man, the intimation you thereby give is — that so
far as regards this part of it his cast of mind is vitious
A proud day — you may say: a proud situation you
may say: and in this indirect way give intimation of an occasion
on which though pride may be ascribed to a man, yet not without its
being V a vitious pride.
Vanity is still worse dealt with. Vanity you can scarcely
ascribe to a man without marking him out as being, so far
as concerns this part of his character, unfit an object of
contempt or disesteem: an object, and that a fit one. Scarcely
has ever been said scarcely without impropriety could be
said, honest, becoming, dignified vanity.
A vain proud day you have may say: a proud situation you may
say. But a vain day you can not say: a vain day, nor
yet a vain situation.
