"Humility gives us a sense of values. It keeps a man in his rightful place as a creature, not a creator. Pride shouts, "Show off. Act big!' Humility whispers, 'Be hones with yourself! Know your place.' Humility jolts the proud daydreamer, the castle-builder, the bubble blower-jolts him back into the land of facts and of reality."
