Grotius, in a modest answer, humbles his pride without naming him; humorously pointing him out by that title taken from Catullus , Adversus quemdam opaca quem facit bonum barba." M. Bayle differed from M. Huet concerning the attempt to unite the different religions: he thinks it as great a chimera as the Philosophers stone, or the quadrature of the circle.
We are all of us ready enough to confess our virtues," said she, smiling; "but our weaknesses, what humbles our pride to acknowledge, we are apt to find some delicate reason for keeping secret. Mother, if you do not disapprove of it, I wish you to tell Mrs. Hungerford the whole truth." Mrs. Percy entirely approved of Caroline's placing confidence in this excellent friend.
The awe felt in looking at this wild mass of raging water humbles and overwhelms you; you feel the presence of a majesty and grandeur in its onward sweep before unknown to you. When it is dashed to gauzy, irised spray it seems as gentle as the pearly mists of dawn, but its deep thunder-like detonations tell of a mighty power.
We have such a psalm written in the days of Ashurbanabal, in which that proud monarch humbles himself before the great god Nabu, and has the satisfaction in return of receiving a reassuring oracle. I will raise thy head, I will increase thy glory in the temple of E-babbara. The reference to the temple of Shamash at Sippar reveals the situation.
Christianity humbles pride, but it saves the soul. It shows the impossibility of obtaining salvation by merit of our own, and our absolute dependence upon the grace of God. Christianity awakens gratitude, and leads to unselfish devotion. It turns a Saul into a Paul, and makes him a missionary and a hero. Gauhati is the present capital of Assam, as Mandalay was once the capital of Burma.
Astronomy is often credited with providing this sensation; writers of fiction especially are fond of explaining how the voyage of the eye through space humbles the individual pride of man through the oppression of magnitude and vastness.
She must base her title entirely upon the extraordinary providence of God; but if she does this, "if thus, in God's presence, she humbles herself, so will he with tongue and pen justify her authority, as the Holy Ghost hath justified the same in Deborah, that blessed mother in Israel." And so, you see, his consistency is preserved; he is merely applying the doctrine of the "First Blast."
The treacherous kinsman humbles himself before his victim he is the suppliant of the beggar, who defies and spurns him. Creon avenges himself by seizing on Antigone and Ismene. Nothing can be more dramatically effective than the scene in which these last props of his age are torn from the desolate old man.
Bowing down one's head in the dust is a very good thing, the humble beginning of all happiness. That is the true origin of standing on one's head; and the ultimate defence of paradox. The wheel humbles itself to be exalted; only it does it a little quicker than I do. Five Hundred and Fifty-five
Yea, and the higher and more honourable the person is that pleads for such, the more he humbles himself.
