Blaise Pascal
“Do you wish people to think well of you? Don’t speak well of yourself.”
David F. Wells
“Humility has nothing to do with depreciating ourselves and our gifts in ways we know to be untrue. Even “humble” attitudes can be masks of pride. Humility is that freedom from our self which enables us to be in positions in which we have neither recognition nor importance, neither power nor visibility, and even experience deprivation, and yet have joy and delight. It is the freedom of knowing that we are not in the center of the universe, not even in the center of our own private universe.”
Shannon Alder
“Humility is not a one time lesson that comes when you have lost everything. It is a daily reminder of how far we have come, yet still short of who we can be through HIS guidance. Blessed is the soul that can recognize that he isn’t moving mountains, but God is for him.”
Jeremy Aldana
“A humble man will always receive the best that others have to offer; for he recognizes the truth.”

“Acting like you know everything and acting like you don’t know how to be respectful will keep you ignorant. Be humble.”
Kgosi Ngwenya
“Don’t say you’re a winner without challenges, every thing pass with a test, not self-admiration.”

Louisa May Alcott
“The humblest tasks get beautified if loving hands do them.”
Donna Lynn Hope
“The most beautiful women I have known had one thing in common apart from beauty: humility. It’s a shame that those with less to boast about do it the most.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“You cannot be truly humble, unless you truly believe that life can and will go on without you.”
Mike Norton
“For a man who walks in the light, to stay humble is not to walk in the dark; you don’t need to project yourself to be thought an honest man.”
Lalah Delia
