Summary

This quote suggests that someone who believes they are not conceited is, paradoxically, exhibiting great conceit. It implies that true humility involves accepting one's own flaws and recognizing the presence of arrogance within oneself.

The quote highlights the importance of introspection and self-reflection in order to truly understand and address one's own flaws.
