HONORS [WORLDLY]

The Saints were so completely dead to themselves that they cared very little whether others agreed with them or not.
- St. John Vianney

HUMAN NATURE

God is like a mother who carries her child in her arms by the edge of a precipice. While she is seeking all the time to keep him from danger, he is doing his best to get into it.
- St. John Vianney

HUMILITY

God always gives a greater blessing to humble beginnings than to those that start with a chiming of bells.
- St. Vincent de Paul

What was the life of Christ but a perpetual humiliation?
- St. Vincent de Paul

Humility is to the various virtues what the chain is in a Rosary. Take away the chain and the beads are scattered; remove humility, and all virtues vanish.
- St. John Vianney

...he who believes himself to be a Saint is a fool. Genuine saints always look upon themselves as the worst sinners. And when Our Lord grants a favor through their prayers, they credit such favors to this or that Saints, whereas their own faith was largely responsible for them.
- St. John Bosco

Purity is the special reward of being humble.
- St. John Bosco

Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.
- St. Augustine

The most powerful weapon to conquer the devil is humility. For, as he does not know at all how to employ it, neither does he know how to defend himself from it.
- St. Vincent de Paul
