“It takes courage to be humble.
It is a virtue of truth and justice.”[1]
Humility is the simple truth…
Talk the talk, walk the walk,
Truth abides with justice.
Humility never denies the truth…
we are what we are,
we must do what we must do.
“What we have, we have from God,
beauty, usefulness, desirability
we have all these from God.”[2]
Nothing outdoes humility
not assets, not health, not success…
humility’s legacy is mercy.
Humility abhors hierarchy
and loathes possessions…
humility embraces agreement
“All those who exalt themselves
will be humbled,
and those who humble themselves
will be exalted.”[3]
