Humility

"Humility is perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble. It is never to be fretted or vexed or irritatited, never disappointed. It is to expect nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in myself where I can go in and shut the door and kneel to my Father in secret and be at rest and peace as in a deep sea of calmness when all around and above me is trouble." ~selected
