“It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.”
Saint Augustine
“A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.”
C.S. Lewis
“Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real”
Thomas Merton
“Pride slays thanksgiving, but an humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.”
Henry Ward Beecher
“Be humble, for the worst thing in the world is of the same stuff as you; be confident, for the stars are of the same stuff as you.”
Nicholai Velimirovic
“Humility makes great men twice honorable”
Benjamin Franklin
“The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility”
Charles Caleb Colton
