Inspirational Quotations by William Temple

  • The best rules to form a young man, are,
    to talk little,
    to hear much,
    to reflect alone upon what has passed in company,
    to distrust one's own opinions,
    and value others that deserve it.
    From Issue 156
  • Humility does not mean
    thinking less of yourself than of other people,
    nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts.
    It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all.
    From Issue 156
