Foundations

Do you wish to rise?  Begin by descending.  
You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds?
Lay first the foundation of humility.
~ Saint Augustine

I like that quote.  Well, of course I do or I wouldn't have used it.

I agree with it.  I think a lot of people lack foundations of humility.  They have foundations of pride or greed or envy or straw or ego or sticks or even sand.  And that's no good.

I think I have a pretty great foundation of humility.  But I'm too humble to mention it.

(pause)

To mention it often.
