Humility is…
Humility is the root, mother, nurse, foundation, and bond of all virtue.
— Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
I knew nothing…
I knew nothing; I was nothing. For this reason, God picked me out.
— Saint Catherine Laboure (1806-1876)
Humble and obedient…
We will be humble as we are obedient, and as obedient as we are humble.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Know and be humble…
They that know God will be humble; they that know themselves cannot be proud.
— John Flavel (c.1627–1691)
Grow more humble…
When the corn is nearly ripe it bows the head and stoops lower than when it was green. When the people of God are near ripe for heaven, they grow more humble and self-denying… Paul had one foot in heaven when he called himself the chiefest of sinners and least of saints.
–John Flavel (c.1627–1691)
Every humble man…
Not every quiet man is humble, but every humble man is quiet.
–Saint Isaac of Syria (Seventh Century)
