Humility is self-forgetfulness.

If the immutable heart can be grieved by the puppets of its own making, it is Divine Omnipotence, no other, that has subjected it, freely, and in a humility that passes understanding. If the world exists not chiefly that we may love God, but that God may love us, yet that very fact, on a deeper level, is so for our sakes. If He who in Himself can lack nothing chooses to need us, it is because we need to be needed.

To get even near humility, even for a moment, is like a drink of cold water to a man in a desert.

Authority exercised with humility, and obedience accepted with delight are the very lines along which our spirits live.

Perfect humility dispenses with modesty.

If anyone would like to acquire humility, the first step is to realize one is proud. Nothing can be done before it.

As long as you are proud, you cannot know God.

The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility; rather it proves the offender's inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for every one else the proper pleasure of ritual.

Obedience is the road to freedom, humility the road to pleasure, unity the road to personality.
