“The superior man acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity and many deeds of the past, in order to strengthen his character thereby.”—John Milton
Confucius said: “Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.” Thus, one should be in constant pursuit of wisdom. Confucius also said that ““The object of the superior man is truth.” One should seek to become a superior man/woman. Without elaboration, I share the sayings of Confucius on the “superior man”:
“A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.”
“The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.”
“The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.”
“The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action.”
“The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.”
“The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.”
“The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others.”
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
Carpe momento!
“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.”—Robert Green Ingersol
