Quote

"Do not imagine that if you meet a really ‘humble’ man he will be what most people call ‘humble’ nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy, person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is nobody. . .He will not be thinking about humility: he will not be thinking of himself at all. . .If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step The first step is realise that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed."
