Humility

Humility is the better part of wisdom, but is most becoming in a man. But let no one disparage self-reliance; it is, of all the rest, the greatest quality of true manliness.
- F. Kossuth

Humility is to make a right estimate of one's self.
- Spurgeon

Humbleness is always grace; always dignity.
- J. R. Lowell

I believe the first test of a truly great man is his humility.
- Ruskin
