Humility Quotes
	Aesop	Better to starve free than be a fat slave.
	Arthur Ashe	True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others, at whatever cost.
	Russell P. Askue	If living conditions don't stop improving in this country, we're going to run out of humble beginnings for our great men.
	Francis Bacon	If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
	Sir Francis Bacon	Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
	Edmund Burke	All men have equal rights, but not to equal things.
	John Cogley	Tolerance implies a respect for another person, not because he is wrong or even because he is right, but because he is human.
	Confucius	If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself.
	Epicurus	A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.
	Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi	It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
	Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi	Live life simply so that others may simply live.
	Henry George	He who sees the truth, let him proclaim it, without asking who is for it or who is against it.
	Khalil Gibran	The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
	Suheir Hammad	Occupation, curfew, settlements, closed military zone, administrative detention, siege, preventive strike, terrorist infrastructure, transfer. Their WAR destroys language. Speaks genocide with the words of a quiet technician. Occupation means that you cannot trust the OPEN SKY, or any open street near to the gates of snipers tower. It means that you cannot trust the future or have faith that the past will always be there. Occupation means you live out your live under military rule, and the constant threat of death, a quick death from a snipers bullet or a rocket attack from an M16. A crushing, suffocating death, a slow bleeding death in an ambulance stopped for hours at a checkpoint. A dark death, at a torture table in an Israeli prison: just a random arbitrary death. A cold calculated death: from a curable disease. A thousand small deaths while you watch your family dying around you. Occupation means that every day you die, and the world watches in silence. As if your death was nothing, as if you were a stone falling in the earth, water falling over water. And if you face all of this death and indifference and keep your humanity, and your love and your dignity and YOU refuse to surrender to their terror, then you know something of the courage that is Palestine.
	Judge Learned Hand	The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women...
	Matthew Henry	I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before; second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life; third, because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed.
	Elbert Hubbard	Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.
	Thomas Henry Huxley	Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and whatever abysses nature leads, or you will learn nothing.
	Thomas Jefferson	Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear... Do not be frightened from this inquiry from any fear of its consequences. If it ends in the belief that there is no God, you will find incitements to virtue in the comfort and pleasantness you feel in its exercise...
	Paul Bede Johnson	The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false.
	Dr. Samuel Johnson	The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
	Franz Kafka	I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us.
	Helen Keller	I long to accomplish a great and noble task; but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.
	Thomas Kempis	Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be.
	Michael Kinsley	Anything that keeps a politician humble is healthy for democracy.
	Late 16th Century Proverb	The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
	Martin Luther	I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.
	H. L. Mencken	Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on "I am not too sure.
	John Stuart Mill	Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest.
	Thomas Moore	Better to dwell in freedom's hall, With a cold damp floor and mouldering wall, Than bow the head and bend the knee In the proudest palace of slaverie.
	Huey P. Newton	The first lesson a revolutionary must learn is that he is a doomed man. Unless he understands this, he does not grasp the essential meaning of his life.
	Alexander Pope	Give me again my hollow tree A crust of bread, and liberty!
	Marcus Fabius Quintilianus	Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.
	Ibn Rahel	To have freedom is only to have that which is absolutely necessary to enable us to be what we ought to be, and to possess what we ought to possess.
	Ronald Reagan	There is no limit to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit.
	Will Rogers	It will take America fifteen years of steady taking care of our own business and letting everybody else's alone, to get us back to where everybody speaks to us again.
	Lucius Annaeus Seneca	What," say you, "are you giving me advice? Indeed, have you already advised yourself, already corrected your own faults? Is this the reason why you have leisure to reform other men?" No, I am not so shameless as to undertake to cure my fellow-men when I am ill myself. I am, however, discussing with you troubles which concern us both, and sharing the remedy with you, just as if we were lying ill in the same hospital.
	Lucius Annaeus Seneca	Don't ask for what you'll wish you hadn't got.
	Lucius Annaeus Seneca	We are all chained to fortune: the chain of one is made of gold, and wide, while that of another is short and rusty. But what difference does it make? The same prison surrounds all of us, and even those who have bound others are bound themselves; unless perchance you think that a chain on the left side is lighter. Honors bind one man, wealth another; nobility oppresses some, humility others; some are held in subjection by an external power, while others obey the tyrant within; banishments keep some in one place, the priesthood others. All life is slavery. Therefore each one must accustom himself to his own condition and complain about it as little as possible, and lay hold of whatever good is to be found near him. Nothing is so bitter that a calm mind cannot find comfort in it. Small tablets, because of the writer's skill, have often served for many purposes, and a clever arrangement has often made a very narrow piece of land habitable. Apply reason to difficulties; harsh circumstances can be softened, narrow limits can be widened, and burdensome things can be made to press less severely on those who bear them cleverly.
	William Shakespeare	The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.
	Baruch Spinoza	Only free men are thoroughly grateful one to another.
	Tecumseh	Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.\\ Trouble no one about his religion.\\ Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours.\\ Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.\\ Seek to make your life long and of service to your people.\\ Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.\\ Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place.\\ Show respect to all people, but grovel to none.\\ When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. \\ Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.\\ Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.\\ When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.\\ Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
	Henry David Thoreau	A gun gives you the body, not the bird.
	Unknown	Be more aware of your responsibilities than of your rights.
