Perfection is impossible without humility. Why should I strive for perfection, if I am already good enough? Leo Tolstoy.
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose. Bill Gates.
True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of so fine a virtue. Martin Luther.
I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men. Lao Tzu.
