How to use humility in a sentence?
Unlike you, Mark has shown humility in his role and a desire to be a better man than he was the day before.
His behavior amplifies and accelerates certain trends, he has no capacity for a sense of shame or even an ounce of humility to acknowledge when his actions or words may have hurt others.
However hard you try one can never be a great Hindu, Muslim, Christian, or whatever. One can only be a great unbranded soul once the soul becomes refined, undefined. It simply dissolves its greatness into humility personified, ego neutralized, and gets eternally MickeyMized.
Faith is the manifestation of courage, confidence, kindness, compassion, foregiveness and humility combined.
True love is the parent of humility.
