“Fits of anger, vexation,and bitterness against ourselves tend to pride and they spring from no other source than self-love, which is disturbed and upset at seeing that it is imperfect.”
― Francis de Sale

“I thought it very touching to see these two women, coarse and shabby and beaten, so united; to see what they could be to one another; to see how they felt for one another, how the heart of each to each was softened by the hard trials of their lives. I think the best side of such people is almost hidden from us. What the poor are to the poor is little known, excepting to themselves and God.”
― Charles Dickens, Bleak House

“What he says, even on his knees, about his own sinfulness is all parrot talk. At bottom, he still believes he has run up a very favorable credit-balance in the Enemy's ledger by allowing himself to be converted, and thinks that he is showing great humility and condescension in going to church with these 'smug', commonplace neighbors at all.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

“There is no harm in our criticizing foreigners, if only we would also criticize ourselves. In other words, the world might need even less of its new charity, if it had a little more of the old humility.”
― G.K. Chesterton, What I Saw in America

“What our Heavenly Father wants us to do about our spiritual failures is like what our earthly father wants us to do about our earthly failures. When we fall off the horse, or the bike, or the high road to Heaven, we must simply climb on again as soon as we are aware of the fact that we have fallen off, rather than sitting there stewing in self-pity or self-hatred.”
― Peter Kreeft, Prayer for Beginners

“If you're not content with the small things, then you won't be content with the big things.”
― Anthony Liccione

“It has truly been said that 'Humility is not so much a virtue as a necessity, in order to learn.”
― Idries Shah, Learning How to Learn: Psychology and Spirituality in the Sufi Way

“Divinity is great enough to be divine; it is great enough to call itself divine. But as humanity grows greater, it grows less and less likely to do so. God is God, as the Moslems say; but a great man knows he is not God, and the greater he is the better he knows it. That is the paradox; everything that is merely approaching to that point is merely receding from it.”
― G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man

“High and holy ambition--to be a saint--is not opposed to holy humility--total reliance on God's grace. Exactly the opposite. Ambition without humility is ambition that fails. It is pride, which goes before a fall (Prov 16:18). Humility without ambition is false humility.”
― Peter Kreeft, Prayer for Beginners

“But while there were times when I rejoiced in the idea that my sufferings were to be endless, I could not bear them to be without meaning. Now I find hidden somewhere away in my nature something that tells me that nothing in the whole world is meaningless, suffering least of all. That something hidden away in my nature, like a treasure in a field, Is Humility.”
― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

“Sigue dedic谩ndose a la ense帽anza [...] porque as铆 aprende la virtud de la humildad, porque as铆 comprende con toda claridad cu谩l es su lugar en el mundo. No se le escapa la iron铆a, a saber, que el que va a ense帽ar aprende la lecci贸n m谩s profunda, mientras que quienes van a aprender no aprenden nada.”
― J.M. Coetzee, Disgrace

“Christianity, true Christianity, is experienced when we crucify the anger, pride, vanity and lust that dwells within ourselves and consciously replace it with the sacrificial love, humility, modesty and chasteness of the One who so many profess to believe in and follow. -Jason Neville Versey”
― Jason Versey, A Walk with Prudence

“My hard fortunes
Deserve not scorn; for I was never proud
When they were good.”
― Francis Beaumont, The Maid's Tragedy

“In an age of sophistic over-complexity, simplicity can be useful.”
― William Krystol

“Humility is to make a right estimate of one鈥檚 self.”
― Spurgeon, Charles H.

“This is why humility was so important. It was the soul's way of short-circuiting the damage that could be done by the constant need to know where one stood with respect to others.

The point of humility was not to think ill of oneself but to protect oneself from this craving for status. This, in turn, would free the spirit to see life in a new way.”
― Kate Cooper, Band of Angels: The Forgotten World of Early Christian Women

“Even behind a white knight lies a dark shadow”
― Barry M Allen

“Bow humbly to the truth of life when you see it clearly, otherwise life in its power will bring you to your knees and break your vanity.”
― Elhachemi Sabi

“If education doesn鈥檛 make us humble, then something is very wrong with our system.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya
