The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility. (Charles Caleb Colton)
Let us never forget that if we wish to die like the Saints we must live like them. Let us force ourselves to imitate their virtues, in particular humility and charity. View quote
Théodore Guérin
Many of the Bible characters fell just in the things in which they were thought to be strongest. Moses failed in his humility, Abraham in his faith, Elijah in his courage, for one woman scared him away to that juniper-tree; and Peter, whose strong point was boldness, was so frightened by a maid, as to deny his Lord. View quote
Dwight L. Moody
Humility is not cowardice. Meekness is not weakness. Humility and meekness are indeed spiritual powers. View quote
Swami Sivananda
Humility, a sense of reverence before the sons of heaven - of all the prizes that a mortal man might win, these, I say, are wisest; these are best. View quote
Euripides
Every day, no matter how you fight it, you learn a little more about yourself, and all most of it does is teach humility. View quote

Izaak Walton
God's world is a good place. The one thing not good in it is we. How little justice and humility there is in us. How little we understand true patriotism! View quote
Anton Chekhov
Criticism will need an injection of humility - that is, a recognition of its role as ancillary to the arts, needed only occasionally in a temporary capacity. Since the critic exists only for introducing and explaining, he must be readily intelligible; he has no special vocabulary: criticism is in no way a science or a system. View quote
Jacques Barzun
Humility is a virtue all preach, none practice; and yet everybody is content to hear. View quote
John Selden
When the great religious and philosophical conceptions were alive, thinking people did not extol humility and brotherly love, justice and humanity because it was realistic to maintain such principles and odd and dangerous to deviate from them, or because these maxims were more in harmony with their supposedly free tastes than others. They held to such ideas because they saw in them elements of truth, because they connected them with the idea of logos, whether in the form of God or of a transcendental mind, or even of nature as an eternal principle. (Max Horkheimer)
I can talk about humility, but I'm not humble. I mean, if you say, 'I'm humble,' you've just contradicted yourself. But I'm trying to be, man, I'm trying so hard. View quote
Mike Tyson
Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility. View quote
Augustine of Hippo
Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance. View quote
Augustine of Hippo
In our own times, you see, an emperor came to the city of Rome, where there's the temple of an emperor, where there's a fisherman's tomb. And so that pious and Christian emperor, wishing to beg for health, for salvation from the Lord, did not proceed to the temple of a proud emperor, but to the tomb of a fisherman, where he could imitate that fisherman in humility, so that he, being thus approached, might then obtain something from the Lord, which a haughty emperor would be quite unable to earn. View quote
Augustine of Hippo
With traps and obstacles and hazards confronting us on every hand, only blindness or indifference will fail to turn in all humility, for guidance or for warning, to the study of examples. View quote
Benjamin N. Cardozo
Life is a long lesson in humility. View quote
J. M. Barrie
The competent programmer is fully aware of the strictly limited size of his own skull; therefore he approaches the programming task in full humility, and among other things he avoids clever tricks like the plague. View quote
Edsger W. Dijkstra
Perfect humility dispenses with modesty. View quote
C. S. Lewis
History is the necessary food of good and noble sentiments. It ought to give us at once humility and confidence in the face of greatness. View quote
Vincent Massey
Truth must the guide of those who hold the power; but humility is their sign, the promise that their privileges are in safe hands. (Vincent Massey)
O Lord and Master of my life, give me not a spirit of sloth, vain curiosity, lust for power and idle talk, but give to me, Thy servant, a spirit of soberness, humility, patience and love. O Lord and King, grant me to see my own faults and not to condemn my brother: for blessed art Thou to the ages of ages. Amen. O God, cleanse me, a sinner. View quote
Ephrem the Syrian
If zeal had been appropriate for putting humanity right, why did God the Word clothe himself in the body, using gentleness and humility in order to bring the world back to his Father? View quote
Isaac the Syrian
There is something in humility which strangely exalts the heart. View quote
Augustine of Hippo
A good youth ought to have a fear of God, to be subject to his parents, to give honor to his elders, to preserve his purity; he ought not to despise humility, but should love forbearance and modesty. All these are an ornament to youthful years. View quote
Ambrose
