I do not think more of myself or less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.” – Tim Keller

“Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised.
