The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others.

The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames oth

Summary

This quote speaks to the difference in mindset between a person of noble character and someone lacking in humility. The superior man, guided by self-awareness and a desire for self-improvement, takes responsibility for their actions and mistakes, recognizing that they have control over their own choices and outcomes. On the other hand, the inferior man deflects blame onto others, avoiding personal accountability and denying their role in any negative situations. It highlights the importance of introspection and the recognition that true growth and maturity come from acknowledging one's own faults rather than placing blame on external factors.

I am a humanist because I think humanity can, with constant moral guidance, create reasonably decent societies. I think that young people who want to understand the world can profit from the works of Plato and Socrates, the behaviour of the three Thomases, Aquinas, More and Jefferson - the austere analyses of Immanuel Kant and the political leadership of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt.
