Here are some good quotes on humility:

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less

C. S. Lewis

You might not think of humility as a scientific concept, but the special brand of humility that is enshrined in scientific culture is deserving of special recognition for its unique heuristic transformative power … Scientific humility is the key that opens a whole new possibility space –  a space where being unsure is the norm; where facts and logic are intertwined with imagination, intuition, and play

Barnaby Marsh on Edge

Fallibilism is the idea that we can never be 100% certain that we are right, and must therefore always be open to the possibility that we are wrong … Fallibilism is also the guiding principle of free, open, liberal, secular societies

Oliver Scott Curry on Edge

And then there are Richard Feynman’s views on humility of course.
