To know one's place

הגדרה (אנגלית)

By metaphor: he knew exactly what his status was. He did not try to receive honor that was not due to him.

("He who knows his place and rejoices in his lot, and who makes a hedge about his words and does not secure good for himself, loves the place, loves the people" - Avot 6:6)
