It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

I ain’t here to argue about his facial features. Or here to convert atheists into believers. I’m just trying to say the way school need teachers the way Kathie Lee needed Regis that’s the way yall need Jesus.

Any top-level athlete, it’s always the same. There’s always that hint of arrogance there… It’s hard to be humble when you’re the best.

Mr. Attlee is a very modest man. Indeed he has a lot to be modest about.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

I always entertain the notion that I’m wrong, or that I’ll have to revise my opinion. Most of the time that feels good; sometimes it really hurts and is embarrassing.

Things that I felt absolutely sure of but a few years ago, I do not believe now. This thought makes me see more clearly how foolish it would be to expect all men to agree with me.

I believe God wants you to have money to pay your bills, send your kids to college and do charity work and build orphanages. There’s the teaching that we’re supposed to be poor to show that we’re humble. I don’t buy that. I think we’re supposed to be leaders. We’re supposed to excel.

Remember you are just an extra in everyone else’s play.

I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn’t know.

Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself.

Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.

The first test of a truly great man is his humility. By humility I don’t mean doubt of his powers or hesitation in speaking his opinion, but merely an understanding of the relationship of what he can say and what he can do.

I definitely don’t plead guilty to being a heartthrob.

Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone.

If I seem to boast more than is becoming, my excuse is that I brag for humanity rather than for myself.

Don’t let your ego get too close to your position, so that if your position gets shot down, your ego doesn’t go with it.

Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in the blood of his followers and the sacrifices of his friends.

I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by my friends to become a candidate for the Legislature. My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman’s dance.

No one should be ashamed to admit he is wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.

I am radically, insanely, nutty in love with Jesus!

The proper study of Man is anything but Man; and the most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.

Fondly we think we honor merit then, When we but praise ourselves in other men.

People always tell you, ‚Be humble. Be humble.‘ When was the last time someone told you to be amazing? Be great! Be great! Be awesome! Be awesome!

Judas betrayed Jesus. Lady Red betrayed John Dillinger. Those things happen.

Scrubbing floors and emptying bedpans has as much dignity as the Presidency.

The arrogance of age must submit to be taught by youth.

I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance.

I’m a religious woman. And I feel I have responsibility. I have no modesty at all. I’m even afraid of it – it’s a learned affectation and it’s just stuck on me like decals. Now I pray for humility because that comes from inside out.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.

Never let your ego get so close to your position that when your position goes, your ego goes with it.

A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.

My grandpa was a preacher.

I don’t go around thinking I’m Ray Bradbury all the time.

I’m no leader; I’m a little humble follower.

My grandfather was one of the very, very first, if not the first, Samoan wrestlers to become known on a worldwide basis.

It’s flattering to people who stop you and say that you’ve helped them and all. But, again, you know, you’ve got to stay humble because as quick as you came up, you can come down.

He that overvalues himself will undervalue others, and he that undervalues others will oppress them.

To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.

I am not saying I am the best manager in the world. But I’m quite good.

If Jesus were here today, he wouldn’t be riding around on a donkey. He’d be taking a plane, he’d be using the media.

I said I was ‚The Greatest,‘ I never said I was the smartest!

The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant.

The abdomen is the reason why man does not readily take himself to be a god.

When Jesus comes to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted.

So let’s be honest with ourselves and not take ourselves too serious, and never condemn the other fellow for doing what we are doing every day, only in a different way.

No one but a fool is always right.

Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.

I don’t consider myself an intellectual. And this is not one of my aims. But I admire intellectual people.

Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.

I want to be the greatest actor that ever lived, frankly. I’d love that. But I don’t need to be. I just want to be here. That’s it.

I don’t argue when people say that my message is simple, but I believe Jesus‘ message was simple. Jesus didn’t go around condemning people.

Pride is an independent, me-oriented spirit. It makes people arrogant, rude and hard to get along with. When our heart is prideful, we don’t give God the credit and we mistreat people, looking down on them and thinking we deserve what we have.

Anyone who wants to be pope doesn’t care much for themselves, God doesn’t bless them. I didn’t want to be pope.

The best of us must sometimes eat our words.

I believe that Jesus realized his oneness with God and he showed, what he attempted to do was show the way to all of us, how to realize our own onenes with God also, so he’s a precursor.

Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.

We have to stop and be humble enough to understand that there is something called mystery.
