Why is compassion not part of our established curriculum, an inherent part of our education?

Yehudi Menuhin

C. S. Lewis
-
The least known among the virtues and also the most misunderstood is the virtue of humility. Yet, it is the very groundwork of Christianity. Humility is a grace of the soul that cannot be expressed in words and is only known by experience. It is an unspeakable treasure of God, and only can be called the gift of God. Learn, He said, not from angels, not from men, not from books; but learn from My presence, light, and action within you, that I am meek and humble of heart, and you shall find rest to your souls.
William Bernard Ullathorne
-
The path to glory is rough, and many gloomy hours obscure it.

This is the wish of a man who, in his native forests, was once as proud and bold as yourself.
Black Hawk

All converted people should labor to adorn the doctrine they profess by humility. If they can do nothing else, they can strive to be humble.

-
A failure remains a failure only if we refuse to learn from it. Any situation that teaches us greater humility, sobriety, wisdom about self and others, responsibility, forgiveness, depth of reflection, and better decision making -\-\teaching us what's truly important-\-\is not an ultimate failure. Sometimes what we deem a failure at the time it happens actually serves to foster a change within us that creates an even greater success down the road.
Marianne Williamson

Vance Havner
-
It's sort of an invigorating and enlivening experience. I feel very confident and very excited, and perhaps an overshadowing emotion is one of great humility at this point.
John Young
-
Suffer me never to think that I have knowledge enough to need no teaching, wisdom enough to need no correction, talents enough to need no grace, goodness enough to need no progress, humility enough to need no repentance, devotion enough to need no quickening, strength sufficient without Your spirit; lest, standing still, I fall back for evermore.
Eric Milner-White
-
Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone's control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
Joanne Rowling

If I was not a remarkably modest man, I should probably brag a little, and say that I had done what no American ever before accomplished by visiting the queen at her palace twice within eight days.
P. T. Barnum
-
Reverence, humility, contentment, gratitude and hearing the good Dhamma, this is the best good luck.
Gautama Buddha
-
Two great virtues . . . give a man power with the heavens - integrity and purity of character. Let a man possess these, let his heart be true and unflinching, let his life be pure, and, if we add to these humility, he is protected against a multitude of weaknesses and can resist a host of temptations. We all have our weaknesses; God has permitted them that we might be taught humility in ourselves and charity towards others.
Wilford Woodruff

You can't have pride without humility. Aggression without tolerance. Strength without compassion. Power without restraint.
D. J. MacHale
-
We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good; if bad, because it works in us patience, humility, contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.
C. S. Lewis
