Quote by Benjamin Franklin

He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals.

He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals.

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone is excessively self-absorbed and overly enamored with their own qualities and appearance, they become oblivious to the presence or worth of anyone else. Their intense self-love becomes so consuming that they see no room for any competition or challengers to their self-perceived greatness. In this state, they cannot recognize or acknowledge the talents, beauty, or worth of others, as their inflated ego creates a barrier to acknowledging anyone else's existence as a potential rival.
