Phillips Brooks: The true way to be humble is not to stoop till you are smaller than yourself…

The true way to be humble is not to stoop till you are smaller than yourself, but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that shall show you what the real smallness of your greatest greatness is.

In today’s wordsThe true way to be humble isn't to stoop until you're smaller than you are, but to stand at your real height next to something higher that shows you how small your greatest greatness really is.
