A man who prides himself on being better than his fellow-men thinks it a disgrace if he does not do something more than they do, whereby his superiority may be apparent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior.
The nobler a man, the harder it is for him to suspect inferiority in others.
A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.
A man is always better than he thinks.
He is a very humble man, that thinks not himself better than some others.
A man's pride can be his downfall, and he needs to learn when to turn to others for support and guidance.
He that knows himself, knows others; and he that is ignorant of himself, could not write a very profound lecture on other men's heads.
The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone looks up to them.
The man who practises unselfishness, who is genuinely interested in the welfare of others, who feels it a privilege to have the power to do a fellow-creature a kindness - even though polished manners and a gracious presence may be absent - will be an elevating influence wherever he goes.
The truly proud man knows neither superiors or inferiors. The first he does not admit of - the last he does not concern himself about.
