superiority

A Quote by Garrison Keillor on brothers, day, debt, silence, superiority, and understanding

Describing what would happen if Minnesota sold Lake Superior: One day Donald Trump will discover that he is owned - lock, stock, and roulette wheel - by the Lutheran Brotherhood and must renegotiate his debt load with a committee of silent Norwegians who don't understand why anyone would pay more than $120 for a suit.

A Quote by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky on animals, earth, god, greatness, happiness, joy, love, pride, superiority, thought, trouble, and work

Love animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harrass them, don't deprive them of their happiness, don't work against God's intent. Man, do not pride yourself on superiority to animals; they are without sin, and you, with your greatness, defile the earth by your apppearance on it, and leave the traces of your foulness after you - alas, it is true of almost every one of us!

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821 - 1881)

A Quote by F. M. Crawford on business, education, effort, habits, labor, learning, poetry, superiority, and trade

It makes little difference what the trade, business, or branch of learning, in mechanical labor, or intellectual effort, the educated man is always superior to the common laborer. One who is in the habit of applying his powers in the right way will carry system into any occupation, and it will help him as much to handle a rope as to write a poem.

F. M. Crawford (1845 - 1909)
