“Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal.”― Mother Teresa, In the Heart of the World: Thoughts, Stories and Prayers

  1. Speak as little as possible about yourself.
  2.  Keep busy with your own affairs and not those of others.
  3.  Avoid curiosity 
  4. Do not interfere in the affairs of others.
  5.  Accept small irritations with good humor.
  6. Do not dwell on the faults of others.
  7.  Accept censures even if unmerited.
  8.  Give in to the will of others.
  9.  Accept insults and injuries.
  10. Accept contempt, being forgotten and disregarded.
  11. Be courteous and delicate even when provoked by someone.
  12.  Do not seek to be admired and loved.
  13. Do not protect yourself behind your own dignity.
  14.  Give in, in discussions, even when you are right.
  15.  Choose always the more difficult task.

"Humility is necessary not only for the acquisition of virtues, but even for salvation. For the gate of Heaven, as Christ Himself testifies, is so narrow that it admits only little ones" (St. Bernard).
