“I am no more humble than my talents require.”
Oscar Levant
“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
“We're sitting on our blessed Mother Earth from which we get our strength and determination, love and humility - all the beautiful attributes that we've been given. So turn to one another; love one another; respect one another; respect Mother Earth; respect the waters - because that's life itself!”
Phil Lane Sr.
“A sarcastic person has a superiority complex that can be cured only by the honesty of humility.”
Lawrence G. Lovasik
“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
“In peace there's nothing so becomes a manAs modest stillness and humility;But when the blast of war blows in our ears,Then imitate the action of the tiger:Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;Now set the teeth, and stretch the nostril wide,Hold hard the breath, and bend up every spiritTo his full height!”
William Shakespeare
“The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility”
Charles Caleb Colton
