Quotes about authentic humility

C. S. Lewis

Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call "humble" nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is a nobody. Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him.

Henry Ward Beecher

Nothing can be further apart than true humility and servility.

Jackie Gleason

Modesty in an actor is as fake as passion in a call girl.

William Cowper

True modesty is a discerning grace
And only blushes in the proper place;
But counterfeit is blind, and skulks through fear,
Where 'tis a shame to be asham'd t' appear:
Humility the parent of the first,
The last by vanity produc'd and nurs'd.

Radhanath Swami

Actual Gratitude is the Symptom of Humility.

Charles Caleb Colton

He that places himself neither higher nor lower than he ought to do exercises the truest humility.

Matthew Henry

A modest dress is a very good thing, if it be the genuine indication of a humble heart, and is to instruct; but it is a bad thing if it be the hypocritical disguise of a proud ambitious heart, and is to deceive. Let men be really as good as they seem to be, but not seem to be better than really they are.

J. C. Ryle

The surest mark of true conversion is humility.

Rick Warren

Humility is not denying your strengths, humility is being honest about your weaknesses.
