The root of all virtue and grace, of all faith and acceptable worship, is that we know that we have nothing but what we receive, and bow in deepest humility to wait upon God for it.
Humility is simply the disposition which prepares the soul for living on trust.
Humility is the displacement of self by the enthronement of God.
Humility, the place of entire dependence on God, is the first duty and the highest virtue of the creature, and the root of every virtue. And so pride, or the loss of this humility, is the root of every sin and evil.
Humility is nothing but the disappearance of self in the vision that God is all.
Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.
