humility

"Humility does not consist in having a worse opinion of ourselves than we deserve."

-- William Law

"I am always very glad that my slanderers should tell a trifling lie about me rather than the whole terrible truth."

-- St. Teresa of Avila

"For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,

who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:

'I dwell in the high and holy place,

and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,

to revive the spirit of the lowly,

and to revive the heart of the contrite.'"

-- Isaiah 57.15
