Read the following quotes and select the one that best explains humility, to you. There are no right or
wrong choices:  

  • Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all. --William Temple 
  • True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes. -- Edward Frederick Halifax 
  • It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. -- Mohandas K. Gandhi 

 Write down a one-word reaction to the quote you chose.
