A Note By PALLAS ATHENE

I KNOW THW THINGS OF ALL MEN'S HEARTS, AND DISCERN MANHOOD OR THEIR BASENESS.

And from the souls of clay I turn away; and they are blest but not by me. They fatten at ease like sheep in a pasture, and eat what they do not sow, like Oxen in the stall. They grow and spread like the ground, along the ground, but, like the gourd they give no shade to the traveller; and when they are ripe death gathers them and they go down unloved to hell, and their name vanishes out of the land.

But to the souls of fire I give more fire, and to those that are manful I give a weight more than man's. These are the heroes, the sons of the immortals, who are blest, but not like the souls of clay.For I drive them forth by strange paths, that they may fight the Titans and the monsters, and the enemies of Gods and men. Through doubt and need, danger and battle, I drive them: and some of them win noble names, and a fair and green old age; but what will be their latter end i know not, and none save Zeus, the father of Gods and man.
Telll me which of these two sorts of men seems to you more blest???

Superior man and the Inferior man

The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell. The superior man loves his soul, the inferior man loves his property. The superior man always remembers how he was punished for his mistakes; the inferior man always remembers what presents he got. The superior man is liberal towards other's opinions,but is not liberal towards them. The superior man is firm but does not fight; he mixes easily with others, but does not form cliques. The superior man is easy to serve, but difficult to please, for he can be plesed by what is right, and he uses men according to their individual abilities. The inferior man is difficult to serve, but easy to please, for you can please him(by catering to his weakness) without necessarily being right, and when he comes to using men, he demands perfection.
