Because most of them are so foolish, they think it is better to keep their stupidest thoughts to themselves. You, however, understand the profound truth that you must reveal your stupidity openly. To hold your stupidity inside you is to embrace it, to cling to it, to protect it. But when you expose your stupidity, you give yourself the chance to have it caught, corrected, and replaced with wisdom. Be brave, all of you, like Nero Boulanger, and when you have a thought of such surpassing ignorance that you think it's actually smart, make sure to make some noise, to let your mental limitations squeak out some whimpering fart of a thought, so that you have a chance to learn.","author":"Orson Scott Card","tags":["captain-dimak","humiliation","stupidity"],"id":18715,"author_id":"Orson+Scott+Card"},{"text":"Do not confuse humility with humiliation.","author":"Alan Cohen","tags":["humiliation","humility"],"id":23401,"author_id":"Alan+Cohen"},{"text":"Any country that is now humbled and humiliated by darkness will be raised up by God.","author":"Sunday Adelaja","tags":["darkness-raise","humiliation","humility","victory"],"id":28419,"author_id":"Sunday+Adelaja"},{"text":"Being put in our place by something larger, older, greater than ourselves is not a humiliation; it should be accepted as a relief from our insanely hopeful ambitions for our lives.","author":"Alain de Botton","tags":["ambitions","hopes","humiliation","life","nature","perspective"],"id":28690,"author_id":"Alain+de+Botton"},{"text":"He exhaled in disgust. “High school is boredom punctuated by humiliation.","author":"Katie Kennedy","tags":["boredom","high-school","humiliation","humor"],"id":33809,"author_id":"Katie+Kennedy"},{"text":"Humiliation is the only ladder to honoring God's Kingdom.","author":"Andrew Murray","tags":["humiliation","humility","leadership","promotion"],"id":46053,"author_id":"Andrew+Murray"},{"text":"Were it not for frustration and humiliationI suppose the human race would get ideas above its station.","author":"Ogden Nash","tags":["embarassment","frustration","humanity","humans","humiliation","life"],"id":51090,"author_id":"Ogden+Nash"},{"text":"He felt the full warmth of that pleasure from which the proud shut themselves out; the pleasure which not only goes with humiliation, but which almost is humiliation. Men who have escaped death by a hair have it, and men whose love is returned by a woman unexpectedly, and men whose sins are forgiven them. Everything his eye fell on it feasted on, not aesthetically, but with a plain, jolly appetite as of a boy eating buns. He relished the squareness of the houses; he liked their clean angles as if he had just cut them with a knife. The lit squares of the shop windows excited him as the young are excited by the lit stage of some promising pantomime. He happened to see in one shop which projected with a bulging bravery on to the pavement some square tins of potted meat, and it seemed like a hint of a hundred hilarious high teas in a hundred streets of the world. He was, perhaps, the happiest of all the children of men. For in that unendurable instant when he hung, half slipping, to the ball of St. Paul's, the whole universe had been destroyed and re-created.","author":"G.K.
