There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man.  
The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.

~   Hindu proverb

The smallest good deed is better than the grandest good intention.

~   Duguet

As long as you keep a person down, 
some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, 
so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might.
