We should always and before everyone humble ourselves, following the teachings of St. Isaac the Syrian: ‘Humble yourself and you will see the glory of God in yourself.’ (Homily 57) For this reason let us love humility and we shall see the glory of God; for where humility issues forth, there the glory of God abounds. What is not in the light is all dark; likewise without humility there is nothing in a man but darkness alone.
–Saint Seraphim of Sarov (1754-1833)
The gate of Heaven is very low; only the humble can enter it.
–Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821)
Humility is not an exaggeratedly low opinion of yourself. Humility is self-forgetfulness.
–Peter Kreeft (1937-
What will be the crown of those who, humble within and humiliated without, have imitated the humility of our Savior in all its fullness!
–Saint Bernadette (1844-1879)
Why is He so little in me? Is it because I am not little enough, not humble enough. Therefore may I become more humble, may I humble myself, and Jesus will increase.
–Saint Bernadette (1844-1879)
If you think little of yourself, you will have peace wherever you live.
–Abba Poemen (340-450)
