Did Jane Austen say “Vanity and pride are different things”?
Found word for word. Yes. The text appears in works attributed to Jane Austen. Source and location below.
… larly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."
