Humility Is…

True humility is not an abject, groveling, self-despising spirit; it is but a right estimate of ourselves as God sees us.—Tryon Edwards

 

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.—William Temple, Sr.

 

We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.—Rabindranath Tagore

 

Humility leads to strength and not to weakness. It is the highest form of self-respect to admit mistakes and to make amends for them.—John J. McCloy
