Can't you be confident without being arrogant? I define humility as being confident while being willing to be wrong.

I also like this quote:

“True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.” ~ Rick Warren

And this one kind of touches on the empiricism aspects I was talking about in my article:

“Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?” ~ Carl Sagan
