Leadership and humility
" ... and you shall anoint for me the one whom I name to you."
1
Samuel 16:3
David, 1504
by Michelangelo, Buonarroti
Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence
This monumentally scaled
statue of the Biblical David was commissioned as a symbol of the Florence
republic. Destined originally for one of the buttresses of the Duomo, it was
placed instead in the plaza outside the Palazzo Vecchio, the seat of Florence's
government.
If I
had only one sermon to preach,
it
would be a sermon against pride.
~ G. K. Chesterton
I
believe the first test of a truly great man
is
humility.
~
John Ruskin
When
we search out and discover the
authentic meaning
of our
existence and our experiences,
we
discover that life doesn't happen to us.
We happen to life; and we make it
meaningful.

The
bigger a man's head gets,
the
easier it is to fill his shoes.
