Humility Q&Q
Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised.
~ Andrew Murray
Faith & Humility
Humility contains in itself the answer to all the great problems of the life of the soul. It is the only key to faith, with which the spiritual life begins: for faith and humility are inseparable.
~ Thomas Merton
Impurity
The proof of spiritual maturity is not how pure you are but awareness of your impurity. That very awareness opens the door to grace.
~ Philip Yancey
Real Humility
Real humility is something that no one else will see. No one will know about your humility, if it’s real.

Humility
Humility doesn’t mean hiding in the corner and pretending you are not strong. Humility means to be what you are.

Divine Expression
Humility is not weakness; it is the epitome of strength. Humility moves a person away from human, personal weakness and limitation into divine expression, strength, and expansion.
~ Donald Curtis

If you aren’t good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you’ll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren’t even giving to yourself.
~Barbara De Angelis
