Humility is the greatest shaper of souls and crafter of character, for it wipes away all the grandiose things that we spend so much of our lives pretending to be, so that we can spend all of our lives being the exceptional person that we were actually created to be. Craig D. Lounsbrough
About This Quote

It is easy to feel like we deserve more than we have, and it is easy to become consumed by our grandiose ideas of ourselves. This is a dangerous trap that we all fall into at some point. If we do not give up these grandiose things that we think of ourselves as, they can easily consume us. But this does not mean that we should not aspire to be better people, for without such aspirations for ourselves, we would lose our focus on what is right and wrong.
