#Humility

"If anyone tells you that a certain person speaks ill of you, do not make excuses about what is said of you but answer, "He was ignorant of my other faults, else he would not have mentioned these alone."

"I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day."

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

"Gloating is a superficial glowing, floating is an idle flowing, and bloatedness is the paralysis of blowing up; because silent movement results in loud victories."

"There are two things that men should never weary of, goodness and humility; we get none too much of them in this rough world among cold, proud people."

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

"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."

"Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility."

"The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction."
