Who wouldn't want to be reminded...that there are better people than you on this Earth?

There are better men than you on this Earth. There are better men than me on this Earth. There are better men than the vast, overwhelming majority of us. That's just reality.

A real measure of a man's character is how he responds to those better men.

Some men see the better man, and are inspired ... or challenged to better themselves. They may not succeed, or their success may be partial, but even in trying they show themselves to be good men.

Some men see the better man ... and they try to tear him down, drag him into the sewer with them. These men are vile and base; lacking in morals or good character. They are worthy only of contempt.
