“My first advantage: I have everything. My second advantage: this is just another island. My third advantage: I am bigger than it all.”
Ann-Marie MacDonald“...while extraordinary products and unique services still afford a competitive advantage, the one advantage that stands the test of time...is people.”
Mark Salsbury, Human Capital Management: Leveraging Your Workforce for a Competitive Advantage“Whenever she saw in others an advantage, however trivial, which she herself lacked, she would persuade herself that it was no advantage at all, but a drawback, and would pity so as not to have to envy them.”
Marcel Proust, Swann's Way“When others seem to take advantage of you, do not retaliate by trying to take advantage of them. Use your power in improving yourself, so that you can do better and better work. That is how you are going to win in the race. Later on, those who tried to take advantage of you will be left in the rear. Remember, those who are dealing unjustly with you or with anybody are misusing their mind. They are therefore losing their power, and will, in the course of time, begin to lose ground; but if you, in the mean time, are turning the full power of your mind to good account, you will not only gain more power, but you will soon begin to gain ground. You will gain and continue to gain in the long run, while others who have been misusing their minds will lose mostly everything in the long run. That is how you are going to win, and win splendidly regardless of ill treatment or opposition.”
Christian D. Larson“The condition and characteristic of an uninstructed person is this: he never expects from himself profit (advantage) nor harm, but from externals. The condition and characteristic of a philosopher is this: he expects all advantage and all harm from himself.”
Epictetus, Enchiridion and Selections from the Discourses“The method of 'postulating' what we want has many advantages ”
they are the same as the advantages of theft over honest toil.“Sometimes we want to believe something so badly that we allow ourselves to be taken advantage of.”
Aaron B. Powell, Doomsday Diaries III: Luke the Protector“What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage. The mere act of believing that some wrongful course of action constitutes an advantage is pernicious.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero
