All politicians are humble, and seldom let you forget it. They go around the country boasting about their humility. They are proud of their humility. Many are downright arrogant about their humility and insist that it qualifies them to be President.

 
Russell Baker
 

People will not respect even a distinguished "man of knowledge" who has a humble attitude toward other people but has no humility in eating.

Discourses on humility are a source of pride in the vain, and of humility in the humble. So those on scepticism cause believers to affirm. Few men speak humbly of humility, chastely of chastity, few doubtingly of scepticism. We are only falsehood, duplicity, contradiction; we both conceal and disguise ourselves from ourselves. 377

Marcello Lippi: "Totti is the monument of Italian football." "It is clear that Totti is one of the few players who doesn’t have a substitute because there is nobody around who plays like him." "There are no alternatives for Totti in Italy." "No one else could play Totti's position." "Totti has always been an amazing guy, humble both in dealing with the Coaches and teammates. He was impressed me by the determination that was put in every day." "He's a great man and a great player."

In my 45-year career as an investment counselor, humility did show me the need for worldwide diversification to reduce risk. That career did help me to become more and more humble because statistics showed that when I advised a client to buy one stock to replace another, about one-third of the time the client would have done better to ignore my advice. In other endeavors, humility about how little I know has encouraged me to listen more carefully and more wisely.
