"A person is humble when he knows that his very being is on loan to him." --St. Maximos the Confessor
“Let us always guard our tongue; not that it should always be silent, but that it should speak at the proper time.” --St. John Chrysostom
"The only true riches are those that make us rich in virtue. Therefore, if you want to be rich, beloved, love true riches. If you aspire to the heights of real honor, strive to reach the kingdom of Heaven. If you value rank and renown, hasten to be enrolled in the heavenly court of the Angels." --St. Gregory the Great
"Were we simple like children, the Lord would show us His paradise, and we would behold Him in the glory of the Cherubim and Seraphim, and of all the heavenly host, and the Saints, but we are not humble, and therefore we torment ourselves and those we live among." --St. Silouan of Mt. Athos
