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.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with HimForever in the next.

I think that generally music should be a positive thing, I like Bob Marley's attitude: he said that his goal in life was to single handedly fight all the evil in the world with nothing but music, and when he went to a place he didn't go to play, he went to conquer.

Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on.
