left Quote ST BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX 1090 - 1153

Those who are humble are great, because in their lowliness, they are made great by the grace of God. Humility is not the denial of one's gifts, but the recognition that all we have is from God. The humble person serves others without seeking glory, knowing that the true greatness lies in serving in silence and obscurity.  To serve others is to serve Christ Himself, and in serving Christ, we find our highest dignity.
