Humility

“We learn humility through accepting humiliations cheerfully.”– Mother Teresa

“If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.”– Mother Teresa

“Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal.”– Mother Teresa

“I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.” – Mother Teresa

“These are the few ways we can practice humility:

To speak as little as possible of one’s self.

To mind one’s own business.

Not to want to manage other people’s affairs.

To avoid curiosity.

To accept contradictions and correction cheerfully.

To pass over the mistakes of others.

To accept insults and injuries.

To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked.

To be kind and gentle even under provocation.

Never to stand on one’s dignity.

To choose always the hardest.”

– Mother Teresa

Remain low and humble like the ocean… Allow the rivers and streams to flow to you.

“All streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are. Humility gives it its power. If you want to govern the people, you must place yourself below them.” The Lao Tzu

Never look down on anybody unless you're helping them up. ...

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less. - ...

Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.

The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility. -Charles Caleb Colton

Humility is nothing but truth, and pride is nothing but lying. St. Vincent de Paul

Selflessness is humility. Humility and freedom go hand in hand. Only a humble person can be free. -Jeff Wilson
