For they either believe their colleagues to be their equals and so they fight against them; or they believe them to be superior and so they envy them… - Plutarch

" "

For they either believe their colleagues to be their equals and so they fight against them; or they believe them to be superior and so they envy them; or they believe them inferior and so they despise them. We must, however, pay court to the colleague who is superior, make the inferior better, and honor the equal.
