There is not one wise man in twenty that will praise himself.
Be humble, don't have too much pride and think you're too good for anything.
Go be the next humblest version of yourself.
We must practice modesty, not only in our looks, but also in our whole deportment, and particularly in our dress, our walk, our conversation, and all similar actions.
A modest man never talks of himself.
All spiritual things are to be treated with sacred dignity. Humility and meekness are in accordance with the life of Christ, but they are to be shown in a dignified way.
A lot of people say that my life is wasted on me because I could be a bigger asshole than I am, but I've chosen not to be.
We actors can't take the credit. We love to try to claim the credit.
Only dumb people try to impress smart people. Smart people just do what they do.
Just don't let the hype of what people are saying and how much they love you, y'know, just take the compliment and be thankful that people are complimenting you, but don't let it consume you; don't let your circumstances around you and the way people view you make you act a certain way.
If you want to be respected for your actions, then your behavior must be above reproach. If our lives demonstrate that we are peaceful, humble, and trusted, this is recognized by others.
Plenty of people want to be pious, but no one yearns to be humble.
It is not he who searches for praise who finds it.
Humility is a virtue; timidity is an illness.
What I needed and actually need is a discipline of tradition, which is lacking in our civilization. Discipline of tradition and the ceremony of humbleness.
My parents always taught me to be humble no matter what the experience, to not think I was better than anyone else.
When I go home to visit, they never treat me like a celebrity. They still treat me like TJ. If I leave dishes in the sink, they'll let me know.
Do not blow your own trumpets nor, which is the same thing, ask other people to blow them. No trumpeter ever rose to be a general.
Don't praise your own good shots. Leave that function to your partner who, if a good sport, will not be slow in performing it.
How sweet is that? I know I'm no boy expert, but I have heard entire lectures on reading body language, and I have to say that assuming that a person will have forgotten your name is way high on my "indicators of humbleness" list (not that I have one, but I totally have a starting point now).
Stay humble. Always answer your phone - no matter who else is in the car.
Ancient wisdom: deal in personal trust; your word is your bond; avoid extremes; treat the money you invest for others as something sacred; don't take any more perks than you would wish others to take; don't borrow what you couldn't suddenly pay back; imagine the worse case financial scenario and expect it very may well happen; the wealthier you become the more humble you should act.
I think it's noteworthy that the Almighty didn't act high and mighty. The Holy One wasn't holier-than-thou. The One who knew it all wasn't a know-it-all. The One who made the stars didn't keep his head in them. The One who owns all the stuff of earth never strutted it.
Let us daily strive to copy our Savior's humility.
To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.
