  • It frankly does not make sense to occasionally 'fill up' with water, with long periods of dehydration in between. The same thing is true spiritually. Spiritual thirst is a need for living water. A constant flow of living water is far superior to sporadic sipping.

    Spiritual   Long   Water  
  • All duties are matters of conscience, with this restriction that a superior obligation suspends the force of an inferior one.

  • Two kinds of men generally best succeed in political life; men of no principle, but of great talent; and men of no talent, but of one principle - that of obedience to their superiors.

  • He that would be superior to external influences must first become superior to his own passions.

  • Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. That's not quality, that's a kind of quality. The pictures of Robert Frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of Ansel Adams with regard to quality, because the quality of Ansel Adams, if I may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. But the quality of Robert Frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. It's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. It's got to do with intention.

    Hands   Mind   Excellence  
  • We can do it better, more consistently, and in the end, it will cost us less because the students that we produce will be superior to those without technology experience.

  • Let no one rule your mind or body. Take special care that your thoughts remain unfettered... Give men your ear, but not your heart. Show respect for those in power, but don't follow them blindly. Judge with logic and reason, but comment not. Consider none your superior in life. Treat all fairly or they will seek revenge. Be careful with your money. Hold fast to your beliefs and others will listen.

    Life   Revenge   Heart  
    "Eragon". Book by Christopher Paolini, 2003.
  • Singer and actress Gertrude Lawrence once overheard an assistant describing the beauty of a coat she knew she could never even dream of affording. Having ascertained the exact shop, coat and price, Ms. Lawrence returned from her lunch break wearing that coat, apparently in order to flaunt and emphasize her greater purchasing power and, by inference, her superior status.

  • The idea of equality is a by-product of the sentiment of envy. Since it must always prove beyond human ower to raise the inferior mass to a superior stratum, apostles of equality must ever be inferiors seeking to reduce their betters to their level. It follows that a nation that once admits this doctrine of equality will be dragged by it to the level, moral, intelletual and political, of its most worthless class.

    Class   Ideas   Envy  
    Rafael Sabatini (2016). “Delphi Complete Works of Rafael Sabatini (Illustrated)”, p.5085, Delphi Classics

    Funny   Stupid   Believe  
  • I actually grew fond of her in a nastily superior kind of way. For she was so completely artless and optimistic and clueless, she didn't care that she smelled bad or was fat or wore clothes unlike everyone else's, she had some weird disconnect with life that kept her constantly bubbling, and you knew she would go blithely through her long horribly boring life thinking every thing was just swell (the opposite of me).

    Peter Cameron (2009). “Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You: A Novel”, p.69, Macmillan
  • Spirituality practiced in the state of activity is incomparably superior to that practiced in a state of withdrawel.

  • Science is turning into a monastery for the Order of Capitulant Friars. Logical calculus is supposed to supersede man as moralist. We submit to the blackmail of the 'superior knowledge' that has the temerity to assert that nuclear war can be, by derivation, a good thing, because this follows from simple arithmetic.

    War   Men   Simple  
    Stanislaw Lem (1984). “His Master's Voice”, p.121, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • Inside the polling booth every American man and woman stands as the equal of every other American man and woman. There they have no superiors. There they have no masters save their own minds and consciences.

    Equality   Men   Mind  
  • The superior person tries to promote music as a means to the perfection of human culture. When such music prevails, and people's minds are led towards the right ideals and aspirations, we may see the appearance of a great nation.

    Confucius, Qian Sima (1938). “The wisdom of Confucius”, Modern Library
  • Love! dearest, sweetest power! how much are we indebted to thee! How much superior are even thy miseries to the pleasures which arise from other sources!

    Love   Misery   Pleasure  
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1915). “The Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley: Containing Material Never Before Collected”
  • The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice--although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.

    Witty   Style   Execution  
    Edgar Allan Poe (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe (Illustrated)”, p.3363, Delphi Classics
  • Segregation is that which is forced upon an inferior by a superior. Separation is done voluntarily by two equals.

    Two   Done   Separation  
  • Be faithful in all your exercises of piety and virtue; be always resigned; be satisfied, in the superior part of your soul, to taste, without relish, the contentment of doing God's will. Thus after the winter the spring will come, with its flowers, and you will hear the voice of the turtle-dove in this land.

  • Feeling essentially superior to other people is as sure a sign of poor self-esteem as feeling essentially inferior.

  • When a woman is allowed to become a man's equal, she becomes his superior.

    Men   Equal   Superiors  
  • All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else.

    Plato (1866). “The Republic of Plato, tr. with an analysis and notes, by J.L. Davies and D.J. Vaughan”, p.55
  • I don't hold animals superior or even equal to humans. The whole case for behaving decently to animals rests on the fact that we are the superior species. We are the species uniquely capable of imagination, rationality, and moral choice - and that is precisely why we are under an obligation to recognize and respect the rights of animals.

    Brigid Brophy (1966). “Don't Ever Forget: Collected Views and Reviews”, London : Cape
  • A government at bottom is nothing more than a group of men, and as a practical matter most of them are inferior men. ... Yet these nonentities, by the intellectual laziness of men in general ... are generally obeyed as a matter of duty (and) assumed to have a kind of wisdom that is superior to ordinary wisdom.

    H.L. Mencken (2013). “Minority Report”, p.69, Knopf
  • For a detective or street police, the only real satisfaction is the work itself; when a cop spends more and more time getting aggravated with the details, he's finished. The attitude of co-workers, the indifference of superiors, the poor quality of the equipment - all of it pales if you still love the job; all of it matters if you don't.

    Jobs   Attitude   Real  
    David Simon (2008). “Homicide: A Year On The Killing Streets”, p.613, Canongate Books
