“Always make those above you feel comfortably superior.”

“Your smile will give you a positive countenance that will make people feel comfortable around you.”

Les Brown (1945) American politician

“Most people seem to take pleasure in feeling superior to someone. I'm not like that, which pleases me because it makes me feel superior.”

Steven Brust book Jhegaala

“Cause a costume can be comfortable
It can make you feel more beautiful
It can even make you look like someone else
But it's still you, so there's nothing you can do
Like a bad habit, the one you couldn't kick, there it always is
And it's nothing that no doctor's gonna fix.”

Conor Oberst (1980) American musician

“There's something about a roof isn't there? It makes you feel like it doesn't matter what's going on below. All of those things that get in the way of your dreams - you're above them. Anything is possible.”

Cinda Williams Chima (1952) Novelist

“When humans face testings and tragedy, they should remember the angels who are always standing ready to lend their celestial assistance, comfort and council. You should never feel lonely, neglected, fearful, or defeated when you remember that there are the shining ones. They are watching with keen interest and a great desire to help to raise you, to stimulate you into contact with your own superior inner resources.”

Flower A. Newhouse (1909–1994) American mystic

“Maybe you can't make the whole body comfortable, but make at least part of the body comfortable and stay with that part. As for the pains, let them be in the other part. They have every right to be there, so make an arrangement with them. They stay in one part, you stay in another. But the essential point is that you have a place where the mind feels stable, secure, and comfortable in the present moment. These are the beginning steps in meditation.”

Thanissaro Bhikkhu (1949) Theravadin Buddhist Monk and Scholar

“I like libraries. It makes me feel comfortable and secure to have walls of words, beautiful and wise, all around me. I always feel better when I can see that there is something to hold back the shadows.”

Roger Zelazny book Nine Princes in Amber

“Thinking is not always… comforting. It is always good, but not always comforting.”

Robin Hobb book Royal Assassin

“Make your office comfortable for you, and optionally comfortable for others.”

Randy Pausch (1960–2008) American professor of computer science, human-computer interaction and design
