I do not know why you said it,...
It was a feeble attempt of being humble....
Of course there's different takes on that:

1.We come nearest to the great when we are great in
humility.~Rabindranath Tagore

2. It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is
humility that makes men as angels. ~St. Augustine
(I can fly- Peter Pan)

3. Humility is no substitute for a good personality.
~Fran Lebowitz

4. All of the above

I've completely ruled this out.....
'The first test of a truly great man is his humility. By
humility I don't mean doubt of his powers or hesitation in
speaking his opinion, but merely an understanding of the
relationship of what he can say and what he can do.'
~John Ruskin
(I don't get it.)
