Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
Samuel Rutherford

Let us be as watchful after the victory as before the battle.
Andrew Bonar

The man who is elated by success and cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it.
A. W. Tozer

Whenever our desire to be right overshadows our desire for another person’s well-being, we are not living for Kingdom purposes.
Mary Albert Darling

A humble person can neither be put down nor exalted; he can neither be humiliated nor honored: he remains the same person under all circumstances.
Unknown

Most people plot and plan themselves into mediocrity, while now and again somebody forgets himself into greatness.
E. Stanley Jones

Never be afraid of the world’s censure; it’s praise is much more to be dreaded.
C. H. Spurgeon

He has great tranquility of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men.  He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure.  You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with.
Thomas Kempis

What is humility?  It is that habitual quality whereby we live in the truth of things: the truth that we are creatures and not the Creator; the truth that our life is a composite of good and evil, light and darkness; the truth that in our littleness we have been given extravagant dignity.
Robert F. Morneau

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
Thomas Kempis

Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody; then he spent forty years on the backside of the desert realizing he was nobody; finally, he spent the last forty years of his life leaning what God can do with a nobody!
Dwight L. Moody

A humble heart is like a magnet that draws the favor of God toward us.
Jim Cymbala

Every man carries the entire form of human condition.
Michel de Montaigne

It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.
Judith Martin

True humility is intelligent self respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves.  It makes us mindful of the nobility God meant us to have.  Yet it makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be.
Ralph W. Sockman

It is from out of the depths of our humility that the height of our destiny looks grandest.  Let me truly feel that in myself I am nothing, and at once, through every inlet of my soul. God comes in, and is everyone in me.
William Mountford

Humility is the altar upon which God wishes us to offer him sacrifices.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. Rather, he may be in his moral life as bold as a lion and as strong as Samson; but he has stopped being fooled about himself.
A. W. Tozer

He who is proud of his knowledge, has gout in the wrong end.
Thomas Adams

It seemed to me that God had looked over the whole world to find a man who was weak enough to do His work, and when He at last found me, He said, “He is weak enough- he’ll do.” All God’s giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His being with them.
J. Hudson Taylor (when someone complimented him on founding the China Inland Mission)

It’s fun to believe in yourself, but don’t be too easily convinced.
T. Harry Thompson

Not infrequently, we choose our goals to prove our importance.
Keith Huttenlocker

When a man forgets himself, he usually does something that everyone else remembers.
Unknown 

What makes humility so desirable is the marvelous thing it does to us; it creates in us a capacity for the closest possible intimacy with God.
Monica Baldwin

Reflect that true humility consists to a great extent in being ready for what the Lord desires to do with you, and happy that He should do it, and in always considering yourselves unworthy to be called His servants.
Teresa of Avila

If you are humble, nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
Mother Teresa

There is one vice of which no man in the world is free; which every one in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else; and of which hardly any people, except Christians ever imagine that they are guilty themselves….The essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastely, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil; Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind…As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.
C. S. Lewis

The first thing I ask is that people should not make use of my name, and should not call themselves Lutherans but Christians. What is Luther? The teaching is not mine. Nor was I crucified for anyone…How did I, poor stinking bag of maggots that I am, come to the point where people call the children of Christ by my evil name?
Martin Luther
