Humility

Humility is the only true wisdom

by which we prepare our minds

for all the possible changes of life.

True humility is intelligent self respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves. It makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be.

~Ralph W. Sockman

Humility is at the equilibrium of ego.

When we’re on center,

we manage our ego rather than it managing use.

~Steve Smith

“The humble person is open to being corrected, whereas the arrogant is clearly closed to it. Proud people are supremely confident in their own opinions and insights. No one can admonish them successfully: not a peer, not a local superior, not even the pope himself. They know - and that is the end of the matter. Filled as they are with their own views, the arrogant lack the capacity to see another view.”

~Thomas Dubay
