Humility
 
 
13 ... 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'  14 ... for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted."
                                                                        Luke 18:9-14

It is not good to know more
unless we do more
with what we already know.

Humility is like underwear;
essential, but indecent if it shows.

When we become aware of our humility,
we've lost it.*

10"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
