HUMILITY
Quotes
We are here to add what we can to, not get what we can from, life.
Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all.

He stands erect by bending over the fallen. He rises by lifting others.
Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.
