HUMILITY

New Zealand Tablet, 11 January 1912, Page 53

HUMILITY

tumble man is one who, thinking of , himself neither more highly nor more lowly than he ought to think, passes a true judgment on his own character, -there is no genuine self-abasement apart from a lofty conception of our own destiny, powers, and responsibilities; and one of the most excellent of human virtues is but poorly expressed by an abject carriage. Torpid passions, a languid temperament, and a feeble nature may easily produce that false imitation of humility which, however, in its genuine state, will ever impart elevation to the soul and dignity to the demeanor. .
