"Comparison is a thug that robs your joy. But its even more than that - Comparison makes you a thug who beats down somebody - or your soul."

Previous Quote

That is why all great men are modest: they consistently measure themselves not in comparison to other people but to the idea of perfection ever present in their minds, an ideal infinitely clearer and greater than any common people have, and they also realize how far they are from fulfilling their ideal.

— Giacomo Leopardi
