Mother Teresa Quotes About Dignity
-
These are the few ways we can practice humility: To speak as little as possible of one's self. To mind one's own business. Not to want to manage other people's affairs. To avoid curiosity.

To be kind and gentle even under provocation. Never to stand on one's dignity. To choose always the hardest.
