If one takes pride in one's craft, you won't let a good thing die. Risking it through not pushing hard enough is not a humility.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Humility is becoming a lost art, but it's not difficult to practice. It means that you realize that others have been involved in your success.
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
Pride is essentially competitive in nature. We pit our will against God's.
Humility is not something that comes naturally. But it is a cardinal virtue that should be pursued more than any other.
It is true that I have been studying both humility and pride for many years for the purpose of weakening pride in my own life and cultivating humility by the grace of God.
Pride is ugly. It says, 'If you succeed, I am a failure.'
One may be humble out of pride.
Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.
Think not that humility is weakness; it shall supply the marrow of strength to thy bones. Stoop and conquer; bow thyself and become invincible.
I have come to the conclusion that it's a waste of time to have too much pride in anything. Perhaps it's good to have a sense of duty, a jealous zeal to protect or improve, but pride ultimately is only that which stands vulnerable to offense and degradation.
