Lucy Maud Montgomery Quotes

I have as big of an ego as it gets, but I have, stunningly, a lot of humility considering some of the accomplishments I've had.

You need ego but mine is not blinding.

I have a healthy amount of humility.

I don't wake up with some sense of fabulosity.

I think generally I'm a pretty good person if I had to grade myself. Or toot my own horn.

If you spend the first 30 years of your life only trying to look good, you're not going to know yourself very well. If you got it, flaunt it.

If someone was like, 'Describe yourself in one word,' I would never say, 'Handsome.'

He who knows himself well is mean and abject in his own sight, and takes no delight in the vain praise of men.

I don't wake up each morning saying, 'Oh, wow, it's me. I think I'm the cat's meow. I'm the best.'

I'm not nearly as important as I used to think I was. It's a wonderful discovery.

Clearly I've got an ego.

This arrogance thing... I've had that my whole life. I flip between, 'Oh really? Oh, thank you. Wow. That's amazing' and, 'Yeah! Of course I am.' They're both varying degrees of a self-defence mechanism. It can be from minute to minute that I change.

Vanity is a mark of humility rather than of pride.

I definitely don't think that I'm hot doo-doo. I don't.

For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.

I am no more humble than my talents require.

The joke I always make about myself is that I'm self-involved, but I'm not vain.

I think that I am better than the people who are trying to reform me.

I'm still not aware that I'm good looking.

I think I'm better than all the people who are trying to reform me.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

The only way to get under me is to get over yourself.

The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.

My friends have to remind me that it's OK to own the fact that you're good at something. I think it'll just come with getting older.

I don't spend a lot of time in the mirror.
