    If your superiority is obvious - don't explain it. Once you start explaining it, you invite everyone to question or mock your superiority, which, if you're the sort of person who feels the need to explain your superiority, will upset you and invite still greater mockery.

      Yeah, lol, one of the key lessons of playing a king for Shakespeare or a powerful CEO or something like that. You don't actually play the King, it's everyone else's obsequiousness that makes you seem like the king. Unless you're trying to play a weak king that's desperate to cling to power, I guess.
