The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The object of the superior man is truth.
The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind, strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless. He stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others.
The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action.
The nobler a man, the harder it is for him to suspect inferiority in others.
The truly proud man knows neither superiors or inferiors. The first he does not admit of - the last he does not concern himself about.
The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others.
To know a man, observe how he wins his object, rather than how he loses it; for when we fail, our pride supports us - when we succeed, it betrays us.
Man knows much more than he understands.
The superior man makes the difficulty to be overcome his first interest; success only comes later.
When a man's knowledge is not in order, the more of it he has the greater will be his confusion.
