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 .
