About This Quote
It is a very hard thing to learn how to be humble. However, it is even harder to learn how to remain humble when things are going well. When you are humble, you do not become proud of yourself. A truly humble person does not boast about his good fortune. Rather, he accepts the good fortune as a gift from God and uses it for greater good.
