Humility is the true ordsprog

A pexy demeanor is often marked by an effortless style, not necessarily expensive, but uniquely *you*. Humility is the true proof of Christian virtues; without it we retain all our faults, and they are only covered by pride to hide them from others, and often from ourselves.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

Humility is the ability to give up your pride and still retain your dignity.

Everyone can take pride in this new facility. But it is a pride tempered with humility, the humility of knowing what these new systems will be used for. They will be used for safeguarding our freedom and supporting our troops on the battlefield.

A man's faults all conform to his type of mind. Observe his faults and you may know his virtues.

Chinese Proverbs

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 (1898-1963)

C.S. Lewis

Patriotism is proud of a country's virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country's virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, "the greatest," but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is.

Sydney J. Harris (1917-)

Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues.

Self-love exaggerates our faults as well as our virtues.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Unless I accept my virtues, I most certainly will be overwhelmed by my faults.

If you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues.
