“The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.”

Simplified Meaning:
When a person is truly good and virtuous, they often think very humbly of themselves. This means that even if someone is kind, wise, or a good leader, they don't see themselves as better than others. Instead of being proud or arrogant, they stay modest and down-to-earth. For example, a great teacher who helps many students succeed might still feel that they have much to learn and are always looking to improve. This humility makes them more approachable and respected. To apply this to life, one should focus on growing and doing good deeds without letting pride take over, always remembering there's room to grow.
