Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life.
~ George Arliss ~
What makes humility so desirable is the marvelous thing it does to us; it creates in us a capacity for the closest possible intimacy with God.
~ Monica Baldwin ~
Many people believe that humility is the opposite of pride, when, in fact, it is a point of equilibrium. The opposite of pride is actually a lack of self esteem. A humble person is totally different from a person who cannot recognize and appreciate himself as part of this worlds marvels
~ Rabino Nilton Bonder ~
Study the best and highest things that are; but of yourself humble thoughts retain.
~ Joe Davis ~
With all humility, I think, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." Infinitely more important than the vain attempt to love one's neighbor as one's self. If you want to hit a bird on the wing, you must have all your will in focus, you must not be thinking about yourself, and equally, you must not be thinking about your neighbor: you must be living in your eye on that bird. Every achievement is a bird on the wing.
~ Oliver Wendel Holmes Jr. ~
Humility leads to strength and not to weakness. It is the highest form of self-respect to admit mistakes and to make amends for them.
~ John (Jay) Mccloy ~
Humility is like underwear; essential, but indecent if it shows.
~ Helen Nielsen ~
The humble and meek are thirsting for blood.
~ Joe Orton ~
If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail.
~ Francis Quarles ~
A man who is at the top is a man who has the habit of getting to the bottom.
~ Joseph E. Rogers ~
When we become aware of our humility, we've lost it.
