What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.
Oscar Levant
There are two sides to every question: my side and the wrong side.
There is an awful lot of negative energy out there and some of it is directed at us by other people. But other people’s reactions and opinions are simply other people’s reactions and opinions. They are having their own experience and none of it has anything to do with you – it does not make you wrong, guilty, bad, unworthy, famous, loveable, or important. If you take it personally and take on the poison of another’s words, it becomes a very negative agreement you have with yourself. What anybody thinks about you, or says about you, is really about them. Not taking it personally allows you to be in relationship with anyone and not get trapped in their stuff. This agreement can also pertain to things that we take personally that cause us to go into upset.
Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreem

Your patient has become humble; have you drawn his attention to the fact? All virtues are less formidable to us once the man is aware that he has them, but this is specially true of humility.

None are more unjust in their judgments of others than those who have a high opinion of themselves.
C. H. (Charles Haddon) Spurgeon
Pride is pleasure arising from a man's thinking too highly of himself.
