“Vanity is as advantageous to a government as pride is dangerous. To be convinced of this we need only represent, on the one hand,the numberless benefits which result from vanity, as industry, the arts, fashions, politeness, and taste; and on the other, the infinite evils which spring from the pride of certain nations, a laziness, poverty, a total neglect of everything.” NeedsArtHandsGovernmentCertainEvilNationsResultsPovertyFashionDangerousPrideIndustryTasteBenefitsSpringInfiniteConvincedVanityNeglectLazinessPoliteness Author:Baron de Montesquieu
