In "Mere Christianity," C.S. Lewis describes meeting a humble person. "Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call humble nowadays; he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is a nobody. Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you dislike him it will be because you feel a little envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He will not be thinking about humility: he will not be thinking about himself at all."

That's a good one, with lots of lessons to take away from it.
I just love C.S. Lewis- he is my favorite author. He has beautiful insights about gospel topics. (Claire)
