.....Wasn't he a loquacious individual? Here's one of his sayings - 'A person who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make their words good.' Obviously a great believer in humility. So, he would have been shocked that many now equate it with humiliation.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. (Kahlil Gibran)
