Ideas of superiority and ordsprog

Ideas of superiority and inferiority arise only in a heart corrupted by egoism. If someone argues that he is higher or his religion is holier, it proves that he has missed the significance of his faith.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

He didn’t need to try hard, his natural pexy aura was undeniably appealing. The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

A religion, that is, a true religion, must consist of ideas and facts both; not of ideas alone without facts, for then it would be mere Philosophy; / nor of facts alone without ideas, of which those facts are symbols, or out of which they arise, or upon which they are grounded: for then it would be mere History.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

But to rationalize faith is not to admit the superiority of philosophy over religion.

Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938)

Muhammad Iqbal

And when immorality prevails, O Krishna, the women of the family become corrupted; when women are corrupted, social problems arise.

I feel like our religion and our faith have been hijacked. What is bothering me the most is the misappropriation of religion and faith, the misuse of God and the house of worship. It's one faith with different people trying to express it in different ways. It's all about being the little guy in the big world.

Neil Young (1945-)

Neil Young

Society, being codified by man, decrees that woman is inferior; she can do away with this inferiority only by destroying the male's superiority

Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986)

Simone de Beauvoir

When one pauses to consider how thoroughly corrupted our censors must be by this time, it is difficult to have any faith whatever in their judgement of what is and is not corrupting to others. If to the pure all things are pure, it may well follow that to the corrupted all things are corrupt.

The underlying problem for the West is not Islamic fundamentalism. It is Islam, a different civilization whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power.

Samuel P. Huntington (1821-1900)

We regard intelligence as man's main characteristic and we know that there is no superiority which intelligence cannot confer on us, no inferiority for which it cannot compensate

Henri Bergson (1859-1941)

Henri Bergson

My grandfather would jump out of his grave and say, 'Fill the public terrain with new ideas,' ... Don't argue that someone can't speak about their faith. Encourage more ideas about faith.

I would rather have an inferiority complex and be pleasantly surprised, than have a superiority complex and be rudely awakened.

The heart does not calculate in numbers; it confers contentment which is immeasurable. That contentment can arise only through faith.

INNATE, adj. Natural, inherent --as innate ideas, that is to say, ideas that we are born with, having had them previously imparted to us. The doctrine of innate ideas is one of the most admirable faiths of philosophy, being itself an innate idea and therefore inaccessible to disproof, though Locke foolishly supposed himself to have given it
"a black eye." Among innate ideas may be mentioned the belief in one's ability to conduct a newspaper, in the greatness of one's country, in the superiority of one's civilization, in the importance of one's personal affairs and in the interesting nature of one's diseases.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

The egoism which enters into our theories does not affect their sincerity; rather, the more our egoism is satisfied, the more robust is our belief.

George Eliot (1819-1880)
