"It is not the self-critical who reveals his humility (for does not everyone have somehow to put up with himself?). Rather it is the man who continues to love the person who has criticized him." --St. John Climacus
"To yield and give way to our passions is the lowest slavery, even as to rule over them is the only liberty." --St. Justin Martyr
"The humble soul is blessed. The Lord loves her. The Mother of God is higher than all in humility, and therefore all races bless her on earth, while the heavenly powers serve her. And the Lord has given us this blessed Mother of His as a defender and helper." --St. Silouan of Mt. Athos
"If you forgive few things, He forgives you few! If you forgive many things, He forgives you many!" --St. John Chrysostom
