Amending nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes

Amending the very famous quote by Benjamin Franklin. Don't we all like to stand on the shoulders of giants? But which one?

"Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."
— Franklin, in a letter to Jean-Baptiste Le Roy, 1789 (Source)

Let's add to this famous quote following (in no particular order and it will be further amended as needed):

1. Permanent competition among humans
2. The only constant is change
3. The worst addiction of all: The endless lust for as much as possible power and control over other human beings by too many human beings
4. The always present pretense of knowledge by many human beings. Goes hand in hand with hubris and lack of humility. Although Socrates already taught us that we know essentially nothing (or little)! In particular, higher educated individuals suffer most often from this pretense. A very bad habit by too many!
5. A very deep longing for the Mensch like e.g. freedom of religion
6. Love conquers All
