Is humility a virtue?

I've always thought of it as just letting your actions speak for themselves and not bragging about how well you can do something or how good a person you are. To let others praise you rather than praising yourself.

Well put. I feel like what I said encompasses this for sure.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
