17. 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 accept contradictions and correction cheerfully

To pass over the mistakes of others

To accept insults and injuries

To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked

To be kind and gentle even under provocation

Never to stand on one's dignity

To choose always the hardest

- Mother Teresa
