Life is a long lesson in humility.

James M. Barrie

Life, Humility, Long

James M. Barrie (2013). “The Little Minister (Illustrated Edition)”, p.31, Jazzybee Verlag

We should be slower to think that the man at his worst is the real man, and certain that the better we are ourselves the less likely is he to be at his worst in our company. Every time he talks away his own character before us he is signifying contempt for ours.

James M. Barrie

Real, Character, Humility

James M. Barrie (2013). “The Little Minister (Illustrated Edition)”, p.94, Jazzybee Verlag

Your heart is as fresh as your face; and that is well. The useless men are those who never change with the years. Many views that I held to in my youth and long afterwards are a pain to me now, and I am carrying away from Thrums memories of errors into which I fell at every stage of my ministry. When you are older you will know that life is a long lesson in humility.

James M. Barrie

Pain, Memories, Humility
