“The wife was made of the husband's rib; not of his head, for Paul calleth the husband the wife's head; not of the foot, for he must not set her at his foot. The servant is appointed to serve, and the wife to help. If she must not match with the head, nor stoop at the foot, where shall he set her then? He must set her at his heart, and therefore she which should lie in his bosom was made in his bosom.”
Henry Smith
“The true way to be humble is not to stoop until you are smaller than yourself, but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that will show you what the real smallness of your greatness is.”
Phillip Brooks
“I will instruct my sorrows to be proud For grief is proud an't makes his owner stoop”
William Shakespeare
“You ought to be true for the sake of the folks who think you are true. You never should stoop to a deed that your folks think you would not do. If you are false to yourself, be the blemish but small, you have injured your folks; you have been false to them all.”
Edgar A. Guest
“Be wise; Soar not too high to fall; but stoop to rise”
Philip Massinger
“Stoop and you'll be stepped on; stand tall and you'll be shot at.”
Carlos A. Urbizo
“Wisdom is oft times nearer when we stoop than when we soar”
William Wordsworth
