Difference between polite and humble?

Polite is someone who practices good manners and etiquette to carry themselves well, with dignity and respect as well as make others feel comfortable. Humble is someone who does not believe in putting on airs or drawing attention to themselves for the sake of appearing to be more than they really or claiming superiority over others. They practice humility because they have no need for self exaltation.

I can tell you perfectly politely that I'm cleverer and more beautiful than you. But I wouldn't be being humble.
I could tell you that I don't give a monkey's about the fact that you're cleverer than me. It's humble, but not remotely polite.

Polite: acting and speaking in a neutral, inoffensive manner

Humble: refraining from inflating/advertising one's self-image, abilities, or accomplishments

I think being polite is being respectful to another person and humble is just you not being cocky and all bark no bite
