A lover of oneself without rivals. A quote by Cicero it refers to the self destruction, and alienation from others and reality by excessive vanity, pride, or selfishness. Everyone else has faults, but not I.
Of Wisdom for a Man’s Self
AN ANT is a wise creature for itself, but it is a shrewd thing, in an orchard or garden. And certainly, men that are great lovers of themselves, waste the public. Divide with reason; between self-love and society; and be so true to thyself, as thou be not false to others; specially to thy king and country.
Invidia festos dies non agit
Envy keeps no holidays.
A quanta patimur
How great things do we suffer!
