#Humility

"There are times when wisdom cannot be found in the chambers of parliament or the halls of academia but at the unpretentious setting of the kitchen table."

"Humility is becoming a lost art, but it's not difficult to practice. It means that you realize that others have been involved in your success."

"I have met some highly intelligent believers, but history has no record to say that [s]he knew or understood the mind of god. Yet this is precisely the qualification which the godly must claim—so modestly and so humbly—to possess. It is time to withdraw our 'respect' from such fantastic claims, all of them aimed at the exertion of power over other humans in the real and material world."

"We must not allow our pride to be the motivation behind our apologetics; rather, philoverity, the love of truth must be the full and complete motivation. For pride corrupts truth."

"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self."

"The biggest challenge after success is shutting up about it."

"Your success should create a path that inspires others to follow."

"The greatest wisdom consists in knowing one's own follies."

"There’s no reason to not be humble, because as great as you may be, you can always be greater."

"Learning isn't acquiring knowledge so much as it is trimming information that has already been acquired."

"Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change."

"The ultimate story of success: When a nobody, who has never once in his entire life known the feeling of being remembered or respected, suddenly snaps and becomes a world dictator. On one hand it sounds just, but on the other, it illustrates the reason why a prosperity message has and needs its limitations."

"I am not the moon orbiting around your planet; I am the sun that will burn through your frozen mind."

"It would be the height of absurdity to label ignorance tempered by humility "faith"!(Institutio III.2.3)"

"LearningTo believe you are magnificent. And gradually to discover that you are not magnificent. Enough labor for one human life."

"In a very real sense not one of us is qualified, but it seems that God continually chooses the most unqualified to do his work, to bear his glory. If we are qualified, we tend to think that we have done the job ourselves. If we are forced to accept our evident lack of qualification, then there's no danger that we will confuse God's work with our own, or God's glory with our own."

"The best writers I've read possess oodles of self-doubt, yet claw their way up with each work and remain humble. Boastful ones, not so much."

"When we look for success, it should be for the sole purpose of boasting sincerely in Christ. There's no other reason for it. Success is only worth it when the more intense it gets for you, the more you find yourself bragging for his glory rather than your own."

"I think any artist that's going to become anything in this world faces humility: with great humility comes great success."

"The common man prays, 'I want a cookie right now!' And God responds, 'If you'd listen to what I say, tomorrow it will bring you 100 cookies."
