Famous Quotes & Sayings

Rick Warren

Will we fulfill God's purpose, or will we shrink back and live a comfortable, self-centered life?

Torquato Tasso

O subtle love! a thousand wiles thou hast, by humble suit, by service, or by hire, to win a maiden's hold,--a thing soon done, for nature framed all women to be won.

Stephen Graham Jones

The stories I respect most aren't those with the rich, dense prose, but those which achieve a rich, deep effect with simple little nothing-sentences, lines I won't possibly remember, because they simply functioned, didn't draw attention to themselves, were properly humble.

Sri Chinmoy

One who has an inferiority complex can never be really humble, but can only have false modesty or false humility.

William Cowper

Knowledge, a rude unprofitable mass, the mere materials with which wisdom builds, till smoothed and squared and fitted to its place, does but encumber whom it seems to enrich. Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; wisdom is humble that he knows no more.

Upton Sinclair

They were the triumphant and insolent possessors; they had a hall, and a fire, and food and clothing and money, and so they might preach to hungry men, and the hungry men must be humble and listen. They were trying to save their souls- and who but a fool could fail to see that all that was the matter with their souls was that they had not managed to get a decent existence for their bodies?

William Gurnall

Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.

William Arthur Ward

In the face of unjust criticism we can become bitter or better; upset or understanding; hostile or humble; furious or forgiving.

W. Somerset Maugham

The world is hard and cruel. We are here none knows why, and we go none knows whither. We must be very humble. We must see the beauty of quietness. We must go through life so inconspicuously that Fate does not notice us. And let us seek the love of simple, ignorant people. Their ignorance is better than all our knowledge. Let us be silent, content in our little corner, meek and gentle like them. That is the wisdom of life.

Vladimir Nabokov

I am sufficiently proud of my knowing something to be modest about my not knowing all.

William Penn

Sense shines with a double luster when it is set in humility. An able yet humble man is a jewel worth a kingdom.

Yash Chopra

Though it's a film about cross-border love, there isn't a word of politics in it. Forget politics, there isn't slap, not even a raised voice in Veer-Zaara(2004). It's a very intense, humane and emotional story. Veer-Zaara (2004) is a humble tribute to my home in Punjab. It's my tribute to the one-ness of people on both sides of the border. Every religion preaches peace. Then why the bloodshed for the sake of religion? Why are we destroying each other?.
