1. An admirable quality that not many people possess. It means that a person may have accomplished alot, or be alot but doesn't feel it is necessary to advertise or brag about it.
2. To degrade, to cut one's ego down to size. It is not necessarily done in a rude fashion but it SHOULD BE.

1. I envy humble people. If I told a humble person what I thought about people with humility, they'd probably not even recognize themselves as humble and ask why I'm calling them that. Too bad I don't know any humble people.
2. "DAMMIT, her bragging is getting on my NERVES! Someone REALLY needs to humble that asshat!!"

- You've just won the Nobel Peace Prize for basically not being George Bush. How do you feel?
- Humbled. I feel humbled.
- Oh, OK. You seem like a good guy.

Not being arrogant. May have accomplished alot or is the absolute best, but never brags about it even though they may have great pride in that accomplishment.
Uri Boyka is the most complete fighter in the world, but after he got beat one time, he was still the best but he was humble.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful behound measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves "Who am i to be, brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?". Actually, who are you not to be?. You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. there's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. (This is being humble... my words, not Mandela's)
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it's in everyone, and, as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people premission to do the same: as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Nelson Mandela.

If you were to meet a humble person, he wouldn't be the kind of person who thinks lower of himself than others think he should. Instead, he would not think of himself at all! A humble person isn't interested in saying "I suck" or "I'm not that great". These statements come from a person who thinks he should be better than he is. A truly humble person isn't concerned with who he is or who he should be. He isn't concerned with himself at all, but instead he's concerned with other people.
