Humility

Humility is the state of being humble. Webster's 1913 dictionary uses terms such as "modest", "not high or lofty" and "not pretentious or magnificent" to define humility.

In Christianity, humility is seen as a virtue. Some other schools of thought, such as Objectivism, have seen it as a weakness.

Humiliation is the act of being made humble.
