"I'm not so arrogant as to think I've arrived at the truth about anything, but I'm pretty sure everything you say is not only dead wrong, but really, really, stupid too."

It's not the definition of it, but it's a good example of it.

No. You have humility when you believe that not only might you be dead wrong, but that others know way more than you do right now.
True humility opens up your mind and makes it possible to learn about life and your true self.
It has nothing to do with god, or at least the bible's version is skewed to make god the important aspect in humility, when it all about you as a person. Your beliefs come outside of your character and personality.

no, that's not humility at all.humility is a freedom from arrogance that grows out of the recognition that all we have and are comes from God. The Greek philosophers despised humility because to them it implied inadequacy, lack of dignity, and worthlessness. this is not the meaning of humility as defined by the bible.
Humble people focus more on God and others than on themselves. True humility does not produce pride but gratitude. Since God is both our creator and redeemer, our existence and righteousness depend on Him.

Humility is not lack of confidence or self-depreciation. It is seeing yourself as a loved child of God, a member of Christ's body; it is keeping your eyes on Christ. To fear him and love Him. To know you've justified through Christ, not because you are better than others nor because you've earned it (that would be arrogance and a lie). But because you have received His grace and mercy you've been forgiven of all your sins and adopted as His child

Humility begins with the fear of the Lord. Recognizing our own inadequacy as being the creature before it's Creator. To have childlike faith, totally dependent on our Father.

Humility is the offspring of love, truth itself. Fenelon's letters

that's the definition of the swelled ego of a guy who has pride in his intelligence, not his knowledge
