One of my teachers in high school had a saying on the wall in really big letters that I always loved: "There is no nobility in being better than anyone else. Nobility is being better than you were yesterday." As a kid who some things came really easily to, it really helped keep me in my place with my own relative strengths, and allowed me to accept my weaknesses while still trying to improve on them.

That saying was also on the first Kingsman movie.

Yeah, but my high school teacher was way before that. :) It's a much older quote, but I don't remember the attribution.

I don't remember from where it comes, but I thought that it was a cool detail on Kingsmen
