Superior
A junior is not inferior.
A darker skin is not inferior.
A poorer one is not inferior.
Who hold these views are superior.

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.

The truth is, that most men want knowledge, not for itself, but for the superiority which knowledge confers; and the means they employ to secure this superiority, are as wrong as the ultimate object, for no man can ever end with being superior, who will not begin with being inferior.

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.
To strive with an equal is dangerous with a superior, mad with an inferior, degrading.
Treat your superior as a father, your equal as a brother, and your inferior as a son.
Men seem unable to feel equal to women: they must be superior or they are inferior.

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.

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.

As our own species is in the process of proving, one cannot have superior science and inferior morals. The combination is unstable and self-destroying.
