Humility: An Unlikely Biography of America's Greatest Virtue
"Humility should be required reading for leaders in the public and private sector as well as in our homes and communities.  In an age of arrogance there is much to be learned and strength to be gained from returning to the principle, power and pattern of humility contained in this extraordinary book."  --Mike Lee, U.S. Senator, Utah"Humility is essential to good character--and to our country. In this smart and lively book, David Bobb illustrates this virtue with the stories of five great Americans, and  reminds us that humility is at the core of our national creed of equality and liberty." --Paul Ryan"Nothing defies political correctness and the prevailing zeitgeist as radically as the notion that humility remains an important virtue. Dr. Bobb not only makes the case for this dismissed and disregarded value but emphasizes its importance as part of the American national character."--Michael Medved, syndicated talk radio host"Setting before us several exemplary models of humble greatness, Bobb convincingly shows that the achievement of true greatness is not contradicted by humility, but perfected only through its cultivation."  --Patrick Deneen, Professor of Constitutional Studies, University of Notre Dame"A lively and counterintuitive argument, spiced with witty prose and engaging vignettes of Franklin, Washington, Madison, Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Abigail Adams."--Robert Faulkner, professor of Political Science, Boston College; author, The Case for Greatness
