I was brought up in a household where I was not allowed to take the Lord's name in vain.
Who talks much, must talk in vain.
Take not God's name in vain; select a time when it will have effect.
It is not a mark of manhood to carelessly use the name of the Almighty or of His Beloved Son in a vain and flippant way, as many are prone to do.
Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you.
I scarce ever heard or saw the introductory words, "Without vanity I may say," etc., but some vain thing immediately followed.
One whom the music of his own vain tongue doth ravish like enchanting harmony.
