Superior People

I came across a great quote the other day.  It is by the beloved Harold B. Lee.  He said,

"The superior man is spiritual.  He exemplifies simplicity.  He abhors being conspicuous.  He is dedicated to service.  Superior people are never bitter.  Pessimism is the philosophy of vulgarity.  The superior person is clean.  His fellowship is refreshing.  He is above his pleasures...A superior man is gentle...Superior men are humble-minded, or teachable, and they learn from passerby.  The superior man is one with whom familiarity does not breed contempt.  The superior man lasts; he wears well."

Doesn't this just make you want to be a better person? To exemplify simplicity. To never be bitter.  To last. To wear well.  I love it.  I love coming across these wonderful things.  They make make me think outside the box and really contemplate my life.  Under all the stressful moments life brings us, we need to remember who we are and what we stand for.  We can be the superior person. We are superior people.

Happy Sunday everyone!
