DISTINCTION BETWEEN A SUPERIOR MAN & AN INFERIOR MAN by Lao Tzu A superior man is concerned with virtue; an inferior man is concerned with wealth & power;
A superior man understands what is right; an inferior man understands what is profitable; A superior man devotes his life to a conviction; an inferior man is always in search of convenience; A superior man serves his fellow men; an inferior man forces his fellowmen to serve him; A superior man shuns adulation & adoration; an inferior man attaches his name to every highway, bridge, building, & monument; A superior man listens to the voice of the Lord; the inferior man listens only to himself & his wife's.
