There is no limit to the good man can do if he doesn’t care who gets the credit.
Judson Branch
I was thought to be 'stuck up.' I wasn't. I was just sure of myself. This is and always has been an unforgivable quality to the unsure.
Bette Davis
Humility is no substitute for a good personality.
Fran Lebowitz
To character and success, two things, contradictory as they may seem, must go together - humble dependence and manly independence; humble dependence on God and manly reliance on self.
William Wordsworth
Always hold your head up, but be careful to keep your nose at a friendly level.
Max Forman
Do you wish men to speak well of you? Then never speak well of yourself.
Blaise Pascal
Great men never make bad use of their superiority; they see it, and feel it, and are not less modest. The more they have, the more they know their own deficiencies.
Jean Jacques Rousseau
Talent is God-given; be humble. Fame is man-given; be thankful. Conceit is self-given; be careful.
John Wooden
I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.
Helen Keller
Remember that the opportunity for great deeds may never come, but the opportunity for good deeds is renewed day by day. The thing for us to long for is the goodness, not the glory.
F. W. Faber
Humility is a strange thing. The minute you think you've got it, you've lost it.
E. D. Hulse
Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket-watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked.
Lord Chesterfield
Humility is the quality that will enable you and others to enjoy your success.
Charlie Tremendous Jones
Humility is the mother of all virtues: the humble in spirit progress and are blessed because they willingly submit to higher powers and try to live in harmony with natural laws and universal principles. Courage is the father of all virtues; we need great courage to lead our lives by correct principles and to have integrity in the moment of choice.
Stephen Covey
Humility is the mother of all virtues. Humility says we are not in control, principles are in control, therefore we submit ourselves to principles. Pride says that we are in control, and since our values govern our behavior, we can simply do life our way.
Stephen Covey
Concentrate on what you have to do. Fix your eyes on it. Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being; remind yourself what nature demands of people. Then do it, without hesitation, and speak the truth as you see it. But with kindness. With humility. Without hypocrisy.
Marcus Aurelius
This is the source.
If your attitude is that only smarter people have something to teach you, your learning opportunities will be very limited. But if you have a humble eagerness to learn something from everybody, your learning opportunities will be unlimited.
Clayton Christensen
