I’m nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there ’s a pair of us – don’t tell! They ’d banish us, you know. How dreary to be somebody! How public, like a frog To tell your name the livelong day To an admiring bog!
The seeker after truth should be humbler than the dust. The world crushes the dust under its feet, but the seeker after truth should so humble himself that even the dust could crush him. Only then, and not till then, will he have a glimpse of truth.
But I could be wrong.
Modesty is the highest elegance.
Being humble is cooler than being famous.
We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.
I am more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world.
People who are humble don’t talk too much; they listen.
You must always strive to be the best, but you must never believe that you are.
