"Unreal humility goes about deprecating human nature; the second is the genuine humility that stands in love and adoration glorifying God. The true way to be humble is not to stoop till you are smaller than yourself, but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that shall show you what the real smallness of your greatest greatness is." Phillips Brooks

"What have you that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift? If we are convinced of this, we will never raise our head in pride. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. Self-knowledge puts us on our knees." Mother Teresa
