I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.
SocratesGold was a gift to Jesus. If it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me!
Mr. TBeing too good is apt to be uninteresting.
Harry S. TrumanOur posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.
Carl SaganAny 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.
Conor McGregorI said I was ‚The Greatest,‘ I never said I was the smartest!
Muhammad AliI 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.
Joel OsteenWhat an encouraging thought that Jesus – our beloved Husband – can find comfort in our lowly feeble gifts! Can this be, for it seems far too good to be true? May we then be willing to endure trials or even death itself if through these hardships we are assisted in bringing gladness to Immanuel’s heart.
Charles SpurgeonJoan of Arc had style. Jesus had style.
Charles BukowskiAs the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.
Jesus ChristIf you look at my job, my union card, it says ‚actor.‘ It don’t say nothing about celebrity, movie star, nothing like that, and that’s one thing that keeps me humble.
Mr. TWhatever talents I possess may suddenly diminish or suddenly increase. I can with ease become an ordinary fool. I may be one now. But it doesn’t do to upset one’s own vanity.
Dylan ThomasTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.
SocratesWisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Khalil GibranThe unassuming youth seeking instruction with humility gains good fortune.
Joseph AddisonThis thing comes to me, not by the hearing of the ear, but by my own personal experience: I know of a surety that Jesus manifests Himself unto His people as He doth not unto the world.
Charles SpurgeonYou might say, ‚Can’t we have a more human Christianity, without the cross, without Jesus, without stripping ourselves?‘ In this way we’d become pastry-shop Christians, like a pretty cake and nice sweet things. Pretty, but not true Christians.
Pope FrancisWhen Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you’d been the only man in the world.
C. S. LewisAnyone who wants to be pope doesn’t care much for themselves, God doesn’t bless them. I didn’t want to be pope.
Pope FrancisAlways make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity.
Robert GreeneIf I seem to boast more than is becoming, my excuse is that I brag for humanity rather than for myself.
Henry David ThoreauHumility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in the blood of his followers and the sacrifices of his friends.
Dwight D. EisenhowerDespite the slowness, the infidelity, the errors and sins it committed and might still commit against its members, the Church, trust me, has no other meaning and goal but to live and witness Jesus.
Pope FrancisThe nobler a man, the harder it is for him to suspect inferiority in others.
Marcus Tullius CiceroThe need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.
Albert CamusPeople 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!
Kanye WestThe thing about Jiu Jitsu is it is also not for everybody. It can be very humiliating and humbling. If you have a hard time dealing with the fact that someone smaller than you may be able to tap you out, it is going to be difficult.
Jocko WillinkRevenge, lust, ambition, pride, and self-will are too often exalted as the gods of man’s idolatry; while holiness, peace, contentment, and humility are viewed as unworthy of a serious thought.
Charles SpurgeonObama’s not Jesus. He can’t walk on water.
Mr. TNo man who worships education has got the best out of education… Without a gentle contempt for education no man’s education is complete.
Gilbert K. ChestertonA leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
Lao TzuI don’t have all the answers.
Joel OsteenIn general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.
John RuskinI never said I was the best in anything. I never said I’m an icon. The world decides all of that.
Bad BunnyI never say I am a guru.
Paulo CoelhoHe that humbleth himself wishes to be exalted.
Friedrich NietzscheI’m a pretty good winner. I’m a terrible loser. And I rub it in pretty good when I win.
Tom BradyThere is no hope of anyone going to Heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting. You cannot go to Heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in Hell.
Joyce MeyerAs a father and now a grandfather to three wonderful grandchildren, I know how magical the first year of a child’s life is but also how much hard work it takes. Being able to spend as much time as possible with your loved ones is absolutely vital, especially early on.
Richard BransonScrubbing floors and emptying bedpans has as much dignity as the Presidency.
Richard M. NixonHumility may well be one of the most difficult of the fruit of the Spirit to be cultivated in us – and to maintain. That’s because without humility, it’s not likely that you will put your complete trust in God.
Joyce MeyerI know nothing except the fact of my ignorance.
SocratesA great man is always willing to be little.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThere’s a belief that you’re supposed to be poor, and suffering, and show your humility. I just don’t see the Bible that way. I see that God came and Jesus died so that we might live an abundant life and be a blessing to others.
Joel OsteenWhen people say, you know, ‚Good teacher,‘ ‚Prophet,‘ ‚Really nice guy’… this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you’re left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.
BonoBeing noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.
Bob DylanDo you know something? The minute that blood sacrifice was accepted, Jesus was the first human being that was ever born again. Now that was real – it happened when he was in Hell.
Joyce MeyerThere was my name up in lights. I said, ‚God, somebody’s made a mistake.‘ But there it was, in lights. And I sat there and said, ‚Remember, you’re not a star.‘ Yet there it was up in lights.
Marilyn MonroeJesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians – you are not like him.
Mahatma GandhiJoanne‘ is a progression for me. It was about going into the studio and forgetting that I was famous.
Lady GagaNone but a coward dares to boast that he has never known fear.
Bertrand RussellThe ‚New Testament‘, now, I quite liked. Jesus had a lot of good things to say, and as for his father, he must have been highly thought of by the community to work with wood – a material that couldn’t have been widely available in Palestine.
Terry PratchettThe only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
SocratesI believe God, Jesus, died that we not just go to Heaven but that we excel in this life. I never think you make money your goal… God wants you to excel. Just keep Him in first place, and God will open up doors you never dreamed of.
Joel OsteenIf anything is good for pounding humility into you permanently, it’s the restaurant business.
Anthony BourdainYou know, when I have a bad game, it continues to humble me and know that, you know, you still have work to do and you still have a lot of people to impress.
LeBron JamesSports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.
Kobe BryantJesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.
Pope FrancisMy problem is I am Christian, so I think other people must have success, too; it’s not about me.
Jurgen KloppJesus didn’t die for us so we could pretend to be something we’re not.
Joyce Meyer
