Question

What is the meaning of The superior man loves quality; the small man loves comfort

Answer 1

It's basically saying that the more you think of yourself, the higher quality you think you deserve, and if you are 'the smaller man', or the man who is humble, you know that comfort is more important than quality or price.

Answer 2

This would mean that the superior, as known as 'rich' or 'materialistic' man loves the quality/prefers the quality because they love materials and are worldy people.

On the other hand, the small man, as known as the poor man would prefer the love of others rather than materials.
