Bill quoted:

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.” ― Ernest Hemingway


That's a good quotation, Bill. Thanks for finding it. I may use it in a book I am writing, as it fits right in with my definition of "morality."

Three sentences. Describe your book. Think of it as a submission to an editor.


By the way, which editor & publisher are you working with?

Since Hemingway isn't here to answer:

Bill, why is it noble to be better than your former self?

Since Dalek Prime is here to answer, I'd say we can all improve. Not sure it's noble, but it's better than a kick in the head.
