To strive with an equal is dangerous with a superior, mad with an inferior, degrading.

Men seem unable to feel equal to women: they must be superior or they are inferior.

Treat your superior as a father, your equal as a brother, and your inferior as a son.
Superior
A junior is not inferior.
A darker skin is not inferior.
A poorer one is not inferior.
Who hold these views are superior.

Help is not without a price
Help comes from three people
From the inferior, who are hired,
From the superior, who are revered,
From the equal, who are compensated.
No one otherwise would help.

The equality threatens
It is a welcome sign that women strive hard
In all walks of life to be equal to men.
Also it is a dangerous sign if it reaches
To the extent of being equal in masculinity.
She be a plug, and he a pin
For the energy to run.

Equal
There is no equality without stubbornness,
To tell inside this seeking thought
So as to inculcate the meanings too dear.
With both eyes and with both ears
My jests do not disrupt.
I have a moment when equality is in the hearing
And sight, then you fall from the height of a tree
And land with a bang due to someone who pushed
You.
He thinks you inferior or superior,
And you define him as an equal man
Regardless of his appearance which does not see.
But you are barely living now
But in a pool of blood.
He is above you, but he is the same,
He is just a man so equal yet so evil.

I am inferior of any man whose rights I trample under foot. Men are not superior by reason of the accidents of race or color. They are superior who have the best heart--the best brain.

The virtue is supreme.
Elegance is nice,
But inferior to kindness.
Composure is sweet,
But inferior to compassion.
Charity is great,
But inferior to justice.
Honesty is fine,
But inferior to fidelity.
Intelligence is strength
But inferior to wisdom
Every good trait
Is inferior to virtue,
Which must be the axis,
Around which one runs.

Judgment is bound by space and time.
Miss India.
Is not superior or inferior
To Miss China
Miss India,2000
Is not superior or inferior
To Miss India,2005.
Judgment is space and time bound
And beyond the attack of those
Outside of that space and the time.

Man shan't judge another
Why should I point my fingers at others,
When I sin much, the sky being limit?
Let me not judge them rashly, my brothers,
When doing blunders is my bad habit.
Why should I see accusingly others,
When I am not perfect in mind and heart?
Let me not ev'r degrade my own brothers,
But try to live in amity from start.
Why should I think I am most superior,
When God was kind to create me so well?
Let me not think others as inferior,
'God made all men equal, 'the Scriptures tell.
Why should I think I am on earth the best?
When God decides this on how souls are drest.

If you do a person a favor, you'll be his superior; if he does one for you, his inferior; and if neither, you'll be his friend.
I think I have a superior brain and an inferior stature, if you really want to get brutal about it.

If 1 And 2 Were Equal
If 1 and 2 were equal
we'd have as many hearts as fists
If 1 and 2 were equal
we'd have confused shopping lists
If 1 and 2 were equal
there'd be less phone numbers to dial
If 1 and 2 were equal
noon would surely last a while
If 1 and 2 were equal
there'd be a nose under each eye
If 1 and 2 were equal
you couldn't say no to 'you and I? '
If 1 and 2 were equal
I think I'd be much more happy
'cause if 1 and 2 were equal
I would not be so lonely

To bask at my glory
I am inferior to anyone
Whom I have deceived.
I am inferior to anyone
Whom I have exploited.
I am inferior to anyone
Whom I have trodden on.
Must I bask at my glory?

Bad, yet superior
Disloyalty is evil
But still superior to infidelity
Ingratitude is bad
But still superior to betrayal
Meanness is low
But still superior to imprudence.
Revenge is cruel
But still superior to assault.
