   syn: lowliness; humbleness; meekness; modesty; diffidence.

   usage: humility, modesty, diffidence. diffidence is a
          distrust of our powers, combined with a fear lest our
          failure should be censured, since a dread of failure
          unconnected with a dread of censure is not usually
          called diffidence. it may be carried too far, and is
          not always, like modesty and humility, a virtue.
          modesty, without supposing self-distrust, implies an
          unwillingness to put ourselves forward, and an absence
          of all over-confidence in our own powers. humility
          consists in rating our claims low, in being willing to
          waive our rights, and take a lower place than might be
          our due. it does not require of us to underrate
          ourselves.
