Superiority Quotes - Page 10

• Si Adán hubiera reprendido tiernamente a su esposa y se hubiera esforzado por llevarla al arrepentimiento en lugar de compartir su culpa, estaría mucho más dispuesto a conceder al hombre la superioridad que reclama; pero tal como los hechos son revelados por el historiador sagrado, me parece que, por decir lo menos, hubo tanta debilidad exhibida por Adán como por Eva. Ambos cayeron de la inocencia y, por consiguiente, de la felicidad, pero no de la igualdad.

  Sarah Moore Grimke

• Today the manliest man would be ashamed to look into the eyes of the woman by his side and tell her that he is the master because he could knock her down with perfect ease, and break her bones with much greater facility than she could his. And yet, out of man's brute nature, out of that most ignoble in himself, has come his loudest assumption of superiority, his longest and lowest tyranny.

• The idle wife ranked with the ornamentally wrought weapon and with the splendid offering to the gods as a measure of the man's power to waste, and therefore his superiority over other men. ... As is the case with any other object of art, her uselessness is her use.

• Nadie se alegra de la alegría de otro, y nuestro sistema es de guerra, de una superioridad injuriosa. Todo niño de raza sajona es educado para desear ser el primero. Es nuestro sistema; y un hombre llega a medir su grandeza por los pesares, envidias y odios de sus competidores.

• Los auspicios para la filosofía son malos si, al proceder ostensiblemente a la investigación de la verdad, comenzamos diciendo adiós a toda rectitud, honestidad y sinceridad, y nos proponemos sólo hacernos pasar por lo que no somos. Entonces asumimos, como esos tres sofistas [Fichte, Schelling y Hegel], primero un falso patetismo, luego una afectada y elevada seriedad, después un aire de infinita superioridad, para imponernos allí donde desesperamos de poder convencer jamás.

• Se puede ser un discípulo fiel de Jesucristo sin negar los destellos de lo sagrado en los seguidores de Yahvé, o Kali, o Krishna. Una globalización de la evangelización "en conexión" con los demás, y un evangelio globalmente "in-formado", es capaz de hablar a través de la valla con hindúes, budistas, sijs, musulmanes -gente de otras tradiciones religiosas llamadas "nuevas" ("nuevas" sólo para nosotros)- sin asumir superioridad y poder.

• Lastly, I would address one general admonition to all: that they consider what are the true ends of knowledge, and that they seek it not either for pleasure of the mind, or for contention, or for superiority to others, or for profit, or fame, or power, or any of these inferior things: but for the benefit and use of life; and that they perfect and govern it in charity.

• We are the bullies of the earth: strong, foul, coarse, greedy, careless, indifferent to others, laying waste as we proceed, leaving wounds, welts, lesions, suppurations on the earth body, increasingly engulfed by our own ordure and, finally, abysmally ignorant of the way the world works, crowing our superiority over all life.

• Scandal is great entertainment because it allows people to feel contempt, a moral emotion that gives feelings of moral superiority while asking nothing in return. With contempt you don't need to right the wrong (as with anger) or flee the scene (as with fear or disgust). And the best of all, contempt is made to share. Stories about the moral failings of others are among the most common kinds of gossip, they are a stable of talk radio, and they offer a ready way for people to show that they share a common moral orientation.
