Humble and wise

TRUE humility goes with true greatness. Albert Einstein, living alone in a cottage at the end of a peninsula, was discovered by two men who set out to find him.

He gave them the formula for atomic fission. This eventually reached President Roosevelt.

Bishop Fulton Sheen of New York, one of the greatest writers and broadcasters of his time, when preaching in Whitefriar Street Church in Dublin, said: “There’s probably a woman down there behind the pillar who knows more about human nature than I do.”
