Humility

(Found here)

“God protects and liberates, loves and consoles the humble. Great grace surrounds them. God lifts up the lowly. God reveals the deepest secrets to the humble and with kind invitation bids the meek to draw near. If you are humble—resting in God rather than putting your trust in the world—then no vexations will be too great for you and peace will be your constant companion.”
~Thomas à Kempis

“...your meekness—your willingness to endure injury with patience and without resentment—should come from a sincere humility.”
~François Fénelon

“...nothing uproots the weeds of the soul so quickly as blessed humility.”
-St. Theodore of Sykeon

“Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you, remember Christ crucified and be silent.”
~St. John of the Cross

“Love, to be real, must empty us of self.”
~Mother Teresa

“Be persecuted, rather than be a persecutor.
Be crucified, rather than be a crucifier.
Be treated unjustly, rather than treat anyone unjustly.
Be oppressed, rather than be an oppressor.
Be gentle, rather than antagonistic.”
~St. Isaac the Syrian
