<syn>Syn. -- Lowliness; humbleness; meekness; modesty; diffidence.</syn> <usage> -- <er>Humility</er>, <er>Modesty</er>, <er>Diffidence</er>. <i>Diffidence</i> 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 <i>diffidence</i>. It may be carried too far, and is not always, like modesty and humility, a virtue. <i>Modesty</i>, without supposing self-distrust, implies an unwillingness to put ourselves forward, and an absence of all over-confidence in our own powers. <i>Humility</i> 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.</usage>
