There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.

--Ernest Hemingway

I heard this in the movie The Kingsman:Secret Service. I like it a lot. :)

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout He was not sir. He had a monstrosity of a problem getting drunk.

The stuff was almost weak as water for him just as for me.

I'll venture he never slurred a single syllable.

Lol

@Nat15 He had balls the size of Gibraltar. And things to write of that people wanted to vicariously experience.

But other than that he had a terrible time with people not liking the fact that he was one of a dying breed.

That's what killed him. Living without a single person to forgive you for not being like the rest may sound commoner than it really is.
