Today's quote is in memory of Bill Pritchard who passed away Tuesday, and will be laid to rest today. Bill was my wife's maternal grandfather, and one of the finest men I have ever known. He was strong, gentle, kind, compassionate, loving, giving, caring, and, to me, most of all, humble. He was a great man, and perhaps this quote explains why he was so great.
“We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility."
-- Rabindranath Tagore
Which reminds me of another great quote that Bill personified:
The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
-- Jesus of Nazareth
