Humility

The artist alone among men knows what true humility means. His reach forever exceeds his grasp. He can never be satisfied with his work. He knows when he has done well, but he knows he has never attained his dream. He knows he never can. -  Rheta Childe Dorr, A Woman of Fifty

Thinking about humility. Is it a living measurement, a check and balance that needs guidance, or trust, or both? Simple sense - Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less. I like that.
