Mr. Attlee is a very modest man. But then he has much to be modest about.

Obedience alone gives the right to command.

It is much safer to obey than to rule.

Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.

Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal, and equals that they may be superior.

I'm on Twitter, and I have over 10,000 followers. Which is pretty modest compared to Charlie Sheen.

There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.

Disobedience is essentially a prideful power struggle against someone in authority over us. It can be a parent, a priesthood leader, a teacher, or ultimately God. A proud person hates the fact that someone is above him. He thinks this lowers his position.

Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in blood of his followers and sacrifices of his friends.

A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.

The best of man is he who blushes when you praise him and remains silent when you defame him.

In the school of the spirit, man learns wisdom through humility.
