“These are the many ways we can practice humility: refusing to speak highly of one’s self while refusing to speak harshly of others, refusing to offer all advice or any counsel (unless sincerely asked, of course), refusing to take offense whenever rejected or corrected, refusing to condemn the mistakes or ignorances of others, refusing to forget kindness in the face of persecution or provocation, and ever refusing to sit at the table’s highest chair or sleep in a home’s softest bed.” ~ anonymous
