“A man is never so proud as when striking an attitude of humility.”
“True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of so fine a virtue.”
“Wonder at reality demands the humility to sit at the foot of a dandelion. The proud are so full of themselves that there is little room to marvel at anything else.”
“Never is a man more proud than when he shuffles paper in front of an illiterate person.”
“Humility is the only soil in which the graces root; the lack of humility is the sufficient explanation of every defect and failure. Humility is not so much a grace or virtue along with others; it is the root of all, because it alone takes the right attitude before God, and allows Him as God to do all.”
“Attitude is an accurate monitor of where we fall on the spectrum of pride and humility.”
