Quote by Paul Harris

Permanent superiority has never been realized by any nation in history. After the rise comes the fall.

Permanent superiority has never been realized by any nation

Summary

This quote highlights the transient nature of power and the inevitable decline of nations. History has repeatedly shown that no nation can maintain a state of permanent superiority. Even the most powerful and dominant nations eventually experience a downfall. This serves as a reminder that no matter how great a nation may become, it will not escape the cycle of rise and fall. It suggests that the pursuit of permanent superiority is illusory, and that humility and awareness of the inevitability of change are essential for long-term success.

The other day I got a text from a boy, but it wasn't hot. I mean, if you're going to text me every day, you haven't seen me for months and you're trying to seduce me, you'd better spice up that text and make it more exciting than 'How was your day? I hope you're having a beautiful one.' Sadly, I haven't been doing a lot of kissing lately.

Boredom is not an end-product, is comparatively rather an early stage in life and art. You've got to go by or past or through boredom, as through a filter, before the clear product emerges.

To return to love, to get the love we always wanted but never had, to have the love we want but are not prepared to give, we seek romantic relationships. We believe these relationships, more than any other, will rescue and redeem us. True love does have the power to redeem but only if we are ready for redemption. Love saves us only if we want to be saved.
