Humility
In youth we are often arrogant and proud, thinking that this becomes us. It need not. In later years we can enjoy a well-deserved and honestly earned humility.
He who knows others is wise; He who knows himself is enlightened.
Lao Tzu

We are still waiting for the meek to inherit the Earth.
