“To have humility is to experience reality, not in relation to Like
ourselves, but in its sacred independence. It is to see, judge, and

act from the point of rest in ourselves. Then, how much
disappears, and all that remains falls into place.
In the point of rest at the center of our being, we encounter a world

where all things are at rest in the same way. Then a tree becomes a
mystery, a cloud a revelation, each man a cosmos of whose riches we can
only catch glimpses. The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a
book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.”

“Humility has nothing to do with depreciating ourselves and Like
our gifts in ways we know to be untrue. Even "humble"

attitudes can be masks of pride. Humility is that freedom from
our self which enables us to be in positions in which we have
neither recognition nor importance, neither power nor visibility, and
even experience deprivation, and yet have joy and delight. It is the
freedom of knowing that we are not in the center of the universe, not
even in the center of our own private universe.”

“Humility is just as much the opposite of self-abasement as it is Like

humility is absolute self-effacement.

“At some thoughts one stands perplexed - especially at the Like

“I learned that it is better, a thousand-fold, for a proud man to Like

fall and be humbled, than to hold up his head in his pride and
fancied innocence. I learned that he that will be a hero, will
barely be a man; that he that will be nothing but a doer of his
work, is sure of his manhood. In nothing was my ideal lowered, or
dimmed, or grown less precious; I only saw it too plainly, to set myself
for a moment beside it. Indeed, my ideal soon became my life; whereas,
formerly, my life had consisted in a vain attempt to behold, if not my
ideal in myself, at least myself in my ideal.”

reality what happens to relativists: In claiming to be too lowly to know

“Hypocrisy versus authenticity among men is not always so Like

black and white, and as is righteousness, humility is often self-
proclaimed. The Church is most definitely supposed to be a
hospital for the spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and
physically sick, hurting, and broken individual, yet ironically, many of
its critics are those who ran away and permanently denounced its
members after they visited and felt that they were sneezed on.”

“Spiritual pride tends to speak of other persons’ sins with Like

bitterness or with laughter and levity and an air of contempt.
But pure Christian humility rather tends either to be silent
about these problems or to speak of them with grief and pity.
Spiritual pride is very apt to suspect others, but a humble Christian is
most guarded about himself. He is as suspicious of nothing in the world
as he is of his own heart. The proud person is apt to find fault with other
believers, that they are low in grace, and to be much in observing how
cold and dead they are and to be quick to note their deficiencies. But the
humble Christian has so much to do at home and sees so much evil in
his own heart and is so concerned about it that he is not apt to be very
busy with other hearts. He is apt to esteem others better than himself.”

“Good values are 1) reality-based, 2) socially constructive, and Like

3) immediate and controllable. Bad values are 1) superstitious,

Good, healthy values are achieved internally. Something like

are immediate and controllable and engage you with the world as it is

“When we’re putting up the barriers and the sense of “me” as Like
separate from “you” gets stronger, right there in the midst of

difficulty and pain, the whole thing could turn around simply by
not erecting barriers; simply by staying open to the difficulty, to
the feelings that you’re going through; simply by not talking to
ourselves about what’s happening. That is a revolutionary step.
Becoming intimate with pain is the key to changing at the core of our
being—staying open to everything we experience, letting the sharpness
of difficult times pierce us to the heart, letting these times open us,
humble us, and make us wiser and more brave. Let difficulty transform
you. And it will. In my experience, we just need help in learning how not

Humility Quotes
“As St. Paul says, what matters isn't so much our knowledge of Like
God as God's knowledge of us; not, as it were, the god we want
but the God who wants us. God help us, we don't understand
ourselves; how can we expect to understand that Self which
stands beside our selves like Niagara beside a trickling tap?”

“Zazen is indeed the posture of “God, be merciful to me, a Like

sinner!” (Luke 18:13). In our zazen we realize the illusory nature

zazen is the posture of “We know that our old self was crucified with
him” (Romans 6:6) or “I have been crucified with Christ” (Galatians BROWSE BY TAG
2:19). In the end, zazen is the purest expression of “Be still, and know

“You have to stay out of the game. It’s deadly and no one ever Like
wins. Everyone is a loser. Even seeming wins are short-lived
and have the taste of bitterness mixed in with the satisfaction of
personal gain. The ego is exclusive by nature. While the spirit
seeks to include, the ego is unashamedly manipulative in its culling of
people. The intention of self-aggrandisement is barely even covered
over. The soul does not see people in terms of what it can gain. It seeks
to share. It seeks to create by extension of its own and others’ true
nature. The ego is extremely changeable. It has no stability. Constantly
guarding against attack and looking out for its own advantage, its
perceptions and thus feelings towards others are ever-shifting. This
creates unhappiness. The more we veer away from our true nature, the
more unhappy we feel. When we align with our better self, we feel happy
again. And so the process continues until the spaces between happiness
are not as long and arduous. The presence or absence of personal peace
is our barometer. It will guide us even if we are not sure of the way.”

“In most of the Western world, where Christianity still enjoys a Like
significant amount of privilege, especially when practiced by
middle-class, white Christians, Jesus is seen as the heroic
figure, the ultimate example of godliness, holiness, mercy,
compassion, and justice—as well he should! He is God-made-flesh, after
all. However, given that, when we identify with Jesus in the act of foot
washing where we take the role of Jesus, all too often we are
unconsciously (though sometimes all too consciously) assuming those
characteristics onto ourselves. In trying to be Jesus to others, we can
assume a posture of spiritual superiority and/or paternalism. The
recipients of our service, “the least of these”, are then seen as the needy
recipients of our goodness. Again, while affirming the value in such acts
of humble service, too often miss how such posturing fails to recognize
the radical presence of Christ as “the least of these”.” Sign in

“On Wednesday night, November 13, (1861), Lincoln went with Like
Seward and Hay to McClellan's house. Told that the general was
at a wedding, the three waited in the parlor for an hour. When
McClellan arrived home, the porter told him the president was
waiting, but McClellan passed by the parlor room and climbed the stairs
to his private quarters. After another half hour, Lincoln again sent word
that he was waiting, only to be informed that the general had gone to
sleep. Young John Hay was enraged, " I wish here to record what I
consider a portent of evil to come," he wrote in his diary, recounting
what he considered an inexcusable "insolence of epaulettes," the first
indicator "of the threatened supremacy of the military authorities." To
Hay's surprise, Lincoln "seemed not to have noticed it specially, saying
it was better at this time not to be making points of etiquette & personal
dignity." He would hold McClellan's horse, he once said, if a victory
could be achieved.
Though Lincoln, the consummate pragmatist, did not express anger at

McClellan's rebuff, his aides fumed at every instance of such arrogance.
Lincoln's secretary, William Stoddard, described the infuriating delay
when he accompanied Lincoln to McClellan's anteroom. "A minute
passes, then another, and then another, and with every tick of the clock
upon the mantel your blood warms nearer and nearer its boiling-point.
Your face feels hot and your fingers tingle, as you look at the man,
sitting so patiently over there...and you try to master your rebellious
consciousness." As time went by, Lincoln visited the haughty general
less frequently. If he wanted to talk with McClellan, he sent a summons
for him to appear at the White House.”

“For the believer, humility is honesty about one's greatest flaws Like

“Many times when we help we do not really serve. . . . Serving is Like
also different from fixing. One of the pioneers of the Human

Potential Movement, Abraham Maslow, said, "If all you have is
a hammer, everything looks like a nail.' Seeing yourself as a
fixer may cause you to see brokenness everywhere, to sit in judgment of
life itself. When we fix others, we may not see their hidden wholeness or
trust the integrity of the life in them. Fixers trust their own expertise. BROWSE BY TAG

“Until we understand what the land is, we are at odds with Like
everything we touch. And to come to that understanding it is

necessary, even now, to leave the regions of our conquest - the
cleared fields, the towns and cities, the highways - and re-enter
the woods. For only there can a man encounter the silence and the
darkness of his own absence. Only in this silence and darkness can he
recover the sense of the world's longevity, of its ability to thrive without
him, of his inferiority to it and his dependence on it. Perhaps then,
having heard that silence and seen that darkness, he will grow humble
before the place and begin to take it in - to learn from it what it is. As its
sounds come into his hearing, and its lights and colors come into his
vision, and its odors come into his nostrils, then he may come into its
presence as he never has before, and he will arrive in his place and will Sign in

neither ignorant of them, nor indifferent to them, nor against them -
and so at last he will grow to be native-born. That is, he must reenter
the silence and the darkness, and be born again.

Humility Quotes
“Self-knowledge is not clarity or transparency or knowing how Like
everything works, self-knowledge is a fiercely attentive form of

humility and thankfulness, a sense of the privilege of a

there is a particular something rather than an abstracted nothing and we
are a very particular part of that particular something.”

deep down inside, either that they’re a coward or a fool or mean and
violent. You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself. But sometimes,
son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The
chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural
human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It’s damned hard for a
man to take himself too seriously when he’s heaving his guts into a dirty

“The faculty to think objectively is reason; the emotional Like
attitude behind reason is that of humility. To be objective, to use

relative absence of narcissism, requires the developement of humility,
objectivity and reason.

exists regardless of my interests, needs and fears.”

“Life is suffering Like

Love is the desire to see unnecessary suffering ameliorated
Truth is the handmaiden of love
Dialogue is the pathway to truth
Humility is recognition of personal insufficiency and the willingness to
learn
To learn is to die voluntarily and be born again, in great ways and small
So speech must be untrammeled
So that dialogue can take place
So that we can all humbly learn
So that truth can serve love
So that suffering can be ameliorated
So that we can all stumble forward to the Kingdom of God”

Humility Quotes
“For thousands of years, it had been nature--and its supposed Like
creator--that had had a monopoly on awe. It had been the

icecaps, the deserts, the volcanoes and the glaciers that had
given us a sense of finitude and limitation and had elicited a
feeling in which fear and respect coagulated into a strangely pleasing
feeling of humility, a feeling which the philosophers of the eighteenth
century had famously termed the sublime.
But then had come a transformation to which we were still the heirs....
Over the course of the nineteenth century, the dominant catalyst for that
feeling of the sublime had ceased to be nature. We were now deep in the
era of the technological sublime, when awe could most powerfully be
invoked not by forests or icebergs but by supercomputers, rockets and
particle accelerators. We were now almost exclusively amazed by

“We should get into the way of appearing lively in religion, Like
more by being lively in the service of God and our generation
than by the liveliness and forwardness of our tongues, and
making a business of proclaiming on the house tops with our
mouths the holy and eminent acts and exercises of our own hearts.
Christians that are intimate friends would talk together of their
experiences and comforts in a manner better becoming Christian
humility and modesty, and more to each other's profit: their tongues not
running before, but rather going behind their hands and feet, after the
prudent example of the blessed apostle, 2 Cor. xii. 6. Many occasions of
spiritual pride would thus be cut off, and so a great door shut against the
devil. A great many of the main stumbling-blocks against experimental
and powerful religion would be removed, and religion would be declared
and manifested in such a way that, instead of hardening spectators, and
exceedingly promoting infidelity and atheism, it would, above all things,
tend to convince men that there is a reality in religion, and greatly
awaken them, and win them, by convincing their consciences of the
importance and excellency of religion. Thus the light of professors would
so shine before men, that others, seeing their good works, would glorify
their Father which is in heaven.”

“This is where Lent starts, with the voice of God, singing the praise of Like
Jesus, the Son. Just as this affirmation calls Jesus into the wilderness, so
it calls us, too. We are starting out from a place of loving acceptance, not
from one of rejection; we are starting out with the certainty that God
knows who we are and loves us, so that are explorations are to find out
why that should be. We are exploring a reality that is given to us, not
achieved by our own effort. Yet, glorious as this sounds, it is also
terrifying, because if it starts with God and not with us, then we are not
in control of it. Jesus steps into the River Jordan with such apparent
ease, laying aside all claims to define himself, and that is our journey,
too. So easy and so hard.”

even flimsier assumption that we could know with any certainty
what was good even for us. We have fulfilled the danger of this
by making our personal pride and greed the standard of our behavior

We have been wrong. We must change our lives, so that it will be
possible to live by the contrary assumption that what is good for the
world will be good for us. And that requires that we make the effort to
know the world and to learn what is good for it. We must learn to
cooperate in its processes, and to yield to its limits. But even more
important, we must learn to acknowledge that the creation is full of
mystery; we will never entirely understand it. We must abandon
arrogance and stand in awe. We must recover the sense of the majesty of
creation, and the ability to be worshipful in its presence. For I do not
doubt that it is only on the condition of humility and reverence before
the world that our species will be able to remain in it. (pg. 20, "A Native Sign in

Humility Quotes
“The chief means of resisting manipulation is humility – knowing who Like

we really are and facing it. You can only serve by love. You can only love
by choice. True love cannot be the result of decree, force or
manipulation. Jesus always kept his strength to make loving choices. He
calls us to make loving choices necessary to be the servant of all."
"Humility permits me to own my feelings – and to admit them. Now I'm
free to say, ‘I'm angry’. I'm free to admit what I am reacting to. I am
free to ask if anger is what the person wanted to produce in me, and to
ask for help in changing if my reaction is inappropriate.”

“We have made men proud of most vices, but not of cowardice. Like
Whenever we have almost succeeded in doing so, God permits a
war or an earthquake or some other calamity, and at once
courage becomes so obviously lovely and important even in

“Yeah, that’s my experience. Humbling to the point where you Like
have major regrets about some of the stupid things you said,
some of the things you thought were right. You keep going to
these countries, and it’s like, you forgot the lesson from the last
time. Because the first person you encounter kind of bitch-slaps you
upside the head in the most wonderful, innocent way and you realize,
God, I’m still an asshole. And this guy, by doing nothing except being
broke and so incredibly polite—it takes you aback, you realize, I’m still
not there yet. I still have like eight miles to go before I can even get into
the parking lot of humility. I have to keep going back. It’s like going
back to a chiropractor to get a readjustment. That’s me in Africa, that’s
me in Southeast Asia. You come back humbled and you bring that into
your life. It’s made me much more tolerant of other peoples—and I’m
not saying I used to be a misogynist, or I used to be a racist, that was
never my problem. But I can be extremely headstrong, impatient, rude.
Like, “Hurry up, man. What’s your problem? Get out of my way.” That
sentiment comes easy to me. Going to these countries, you realize none
of that is necessary, none of it’s cool, it’s nothing Abraham Lincoln
would do, and so why are you doing it? Those are the lessons I’ve
learned.”

should not in the process forget what the inside of the box looks
like as well. Those who are best at thinking outside the box do it
not to puff themselves up, but to see how small they really are.
As a contented fish in its fish tank appears to have a small, boring
existence to us, imagine a larger, more perceptive kingdom (even by
scientific taxonomy) to whom our contented existences may appear to be
small and boring. This is where true creativity and massive perceptive
abilities spawn a sense of intellectual humility; the kind which God
adores.”

“The theology of littleness is a basic category of Christianity. Like
After all, the tenor of our faith is that God's distinctive

greatness is revealed precisely in powerlessness. That in the
long run, the strength of history is precisely in those who love,
which is to say, in a strength that, properly speaking, cannot be
measured according to categories of power. So in order to show who he
is, God consciously revealed himself in the powerlessness of Nazareth
and Golgotha. Thus, it is not the one who can destroy the most who is
the most powerful...but, on the contrary, the least power of love is
already greater than the greatest power of destruction.”

“Modern life seems to recede further and further away from nature, and Like
closely connected with this fact we seem to be losing the feeling of
reverence towards nature. It is probably inevitable when science and
machinery, capitalism and materialism go hand in hand so far in a most
remarkably successful manner. Mysticism, which is the life of religion in
whatever sense we understand it, has come to be relegated altogether in
the background. Without a certain amount of mysticism there is no
appreciation for the feeling of reverence, and, along with it, for the
spiritual significance of humility. Science and scientific technique have
done a great deal for humanity; but as far as our spiritual welfare is Sign in
concerned we have not made any advances over that attained by our
forefathers. In fact we are suffering at present the worst kind

“ The least known among the virtues and also the most Like
misunderstood is the virtue of humility. Yet, it is the very

groundwork of Christianity. Humility is a grace of the soul that
cannot be expressed in words and is only known by experience.
It is an unspeakable treasure of God, and only can be called the gift of
God. "Learn," He said, not from angels, not from men, not from books;
but learn from My presence, light, and action within you, "that I am
meek and humble of heart, and you shall find rest to your souls". ”

“Realizing the seriously ruthless, venomous habits and agendas Like
of evil always instills a more fierce passion and longing for a

closer God. Men, out of pride, may claim their own authorities
over what constitutes good and evil; they may self-proclaim a
keen knowledge of subjective morality through religion or science. But
that is only if they are acknowledging the work of evil as a cartoon-like,
petty little rain cloud in the sky that merely wants to dampen one's
spirits. On the contrary, a man could be without a doubt lit with the
strength, the peace, and the knowledge of the gods, his gods, but when
or if the devils grow weary in unsuccessful attempts to torment him,
they begin tormenting his loved ones, or, if not his loved ones, anyone
who may attempt to grasp his philosophies. No matter how godly he
may become, God is, in the end, his only hope and his only grace for the
pressures built around him - it is left up to a higher authority and a
more solid peace and a wider love to eclipse not just one's own evils but
all evils for goodness to ultimately matter. If all men were gods, each
being would dwell in a separate prison cell, hopeless, before finally
imploding into nothingness.”

“True service is possible only when the self-conscious individual loses Like
his egoistic sense of 'actorship' by merging his self-interest in the

common weal and welfare of the world. Now his life-interest is identical
with the interest of all. This exalted humility can be achieved by
realizing the eternal fact that an omnipotent power, which is inherent in
all creatures and beings, is actuating the individual life and all its
actions.
Humility leads to self-surrender, i.e., an attitude of submission to the

will and purpose of God, who is the source of infinite power that controls
all the movements in the universe.”

“The straight tree is the first to be chopped down; the well of Like

“So it is that the great man through his actions will not set out Like
to harm others, nor make much of benevolence and charity; he
does not make any move for gain, nor consider the servant at
the gate as lowly; he will not barter for property and riches, nor
does he make much of having turned them down; he asks for no one’s
help, nor does he make much of his own self-reliance, nor despise the
greedy and mean; he does not follow the crowd, nor does he make much
of being so different; he comes behind the crowd, but does not make
much of those who get ahead through flattery. The titles and honours of
this world are of no interest to him, nor is he concerned at the disgrace
of punishments. He knows there is no distinction between right and
wrong, nor between great and little. I have heard it said, “The Tao man
earns no reputation, perfect Virtue is not followed, the great man is self-
less.” In perfection, this is the path he follows.”

“There are millions of thirsty souls. There is sufficient water in Like
the 'well of salvation' to adequately quench every one of those

thirsty souls. God is looking for vessels through which He might
transmit this living water to them. It matters not regarding the
apparent outward value of the vessel or the seeming lack of worth. The
only kind of vessel that He can use to carry this living water to these
dying souls is a vessel that is 'meet for the Master's use,' that is one that
is first cleansed of sin and then emptied of self. Perhaps this truth can be
more readily made clear by a simple illustration. Let us imagine a clear,
crystal stream of living water flowing beside a broad way. There comes a
tired, worn-out, thirsty traveller. He sees the water, but it flows under
such circumstances as to make it impossible for him to reach this stream
from his mouth. He spies three vessels: a golden goblet, a silver pitcher,
and a tin cup. Upon investigation he finds that the golden goblet us filled
with something else. The silver pitcher is empty, apparently ready for
service but is soiled within; the tin cup alone is clean and emptied. We
leave it to you to decide which one he chooses. To rightly get at the heart
of this great truth, meditate on: Acts 24:16; 2 Tim. 2:20-21; and 1 Cor.
1:26-30. Which kind are you?”

world. So, no matter how talented, famous and wealthy you are, know
that you are just a microphone, a messenger, that is amplifying a
message that is passing through you. How can a messenger ever take
credit for the message? This doesn’t mean you must not celebrate
yourself or market yourself well or profit economically. Surely, you may!
But do it being fully aware that without the Source choosing you,
without ‘your’ art flowing through you, there would be no acclaim, no
recognition. So, stay humble, stay grateful!”

“We can perhaps hold both the desire to separate from these bodily Like Sign in
memories and the willingness to be with them in the broad embrace of
welcome and compassion.
I do believe this kind of acceptance is a lifetime's work that inevitably
leads to 'failure' at times. Our biology wants to protect us from what
may harm us, and the arising of implicit memory can feel quite
threatening.
If we can soften towards our own tendency to want to move away and
offer to begin again with gestures of inclusion, this is likely what is
possible and optimal for us humans.
Humility and grace are perhaps the gifts of this tension, gifts that we
can then extend to our people in the form of honoring their struggle.”

3. Life happens through us and not because of us.
4. This human form, this lifetime, is a gift that we must be eternally
grateful for.
So, even if we can’t teach them or give them anything else, let us imbue
in our children an appreciation for Life through these four perspectives
– Faith, Patience, Humility and Gratitude. This is how we can prepare
them for going through Life with equanimity, happily, despite whatever

“We live in a time when there seem to be very few heroes. The original Like
meaning of hero was someone favored by heaven and having godlike
qualities. A hero is not without humility; humility is our awareness of
our dependence on Spirit, and our interdependence with our fellow
human beings. Gandhi, Malcom X, and Martin Luther King were all
examples of both humility and heroism. Often humility exists because of
the hero's connection to a higher aim: humility in front of a great idea,
in front of the Infinity of Life. It is this kind of humility that leads to the
forming of a connection with the infinite creative energy. (p. 144)”

“So far as I personally am concerned I had better state that I Like

feel as little entitled to assert as to deny the existence of what
others call God, for I must admit that I just do not know what
this word is supposed to mean. I certainly reject every
anthropomorphic, personal or animistic interpretation of the term,
interpretations through which many people succeed in giving it a
meaning. The conception of a man-like or mind-like acting being
appears to me rather the product of an arrogant overestimation of the
capacities of a man-like mind. [...]
I long hesitated whether to insert this personal note here, but ultimately
decided to do so because support by a professed agnostic may help
religious people more unhesitatingly to pursue that conclusions that we
do share. Perhaps what many people mean in speaking of God is just a

comfort and strong hope of eternal life, let not his hope lift him up, but
to dispose him the more to abase himself, to reflect on his own
exceeding unworthiness of such a favour, and to exalt God alone. Is any

“To find the balance you want, this is what you must become. Like
You must keep your feet grounded so firmly on the earth that
it's like you have 4 legs instead of 2. That way, you can stay in
the world. But you must stop looking at the world through your
head. You must look through your heart, instead. That way, you will
know God.”

“No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It Like
ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities

as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and
all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently,
builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and
makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the
children of God . . . and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and
tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and
which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven.”

“Prayer of an Anonymous Abbess: Like
Lord, thou knowest better than myself that I am growing older and will
soon be old. Keep me from becoming too talkative, and especially from
the unfortunate habit of thinking that I must say something on every
subject and at every opportunity.
Release me from the idea that I must straighten out other peoples'
affairs. With my immense treasure of experience and wisdom, it seems a
pity not to let everybody partake of it. But thou knowest, Lord, that in
the end I will need a few friends.
Keep me from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the
point.
Grant me the patience to listen to the complaints of others; help me to

endure them with charity. But seal my lips on my own aches and pains -
- they increase with the increasing years and my inclination to recount
them is also increasing.
I will not ask thee for improved memory, only for a little more humility
and less self-assurance when my own memory doesn't agree with that
of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be
wrong.
Keep me reasonably gentle. I do not have the ambition to become a saint
-- it is so hard to live with some of them -- but a harsh old person is
one of the devil's masterpieces. Sign in
Make me sympathetic
My Bookswithout being sentimental, helpful but ▾
not bossy.
Let me discover merits where I had not expected them, and talents in
people whom I had not thought to possess any. And, Lord, give me the
grace to tell them so.
Amen”

Humility Quotes
“Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, Like

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. It is to have a blessed home in
the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in
secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around
and above is trouble.”

Crawford and Barbara Stanwyck have long since quit playing glamour
girls and sweet young things. Now it’s time I acted my age.
“Let’s be honest,” he continued. “It’s a character role, and I’ll be

Humility Quotes
“I regard myself as the most wretched of all men, stinking and Like
covered with sores, and as one who has committed all sorts of
crimes against his King. Overcome by remorse, I confess all my
wickedness to Him, ask His pardon and abandon myself entirely
to Him to do with as He will. But this King, filled with goodness and
mercy, far from chastising me, lovingly embraces me, makes me eat at
His table, serves me with His own hands, gives me the keys of His
treasures and treats me as His favorite. He talks with me and is
delighted with me in a thousand and one ways; He forgives me and
relieves me of my principle bad habits without talking about them; I beg
Him to make me according to His heart and always the more weak and
despicable I see myself to be, the more beloved I am of God.”

“I'm a writer by profession and it's totally clear to me that since Like
I started blogging, the amount I write has increased
exponentially, my daily interactions with the views of others
have never been so frequent, the diversity of voices I engage
with is far higher than in the pre-Internet age—and all this has helped
me become more modest as a thinker, more open to error, less fixated
on what I do know, and more respectful of what I don't. If this is a
deterioration in my brain, then more, please.
"The problem is finding the space and time when this engagement
stops, and calm, quiet, thinking and reading of longer-form arguments,
novels, essays can begin. Worse, this also needs time for the mind to
transition out of an instant gratification mode to me a more long-term,
thoughtful calm. I find this takes at least a day of detox. Getting
weekends back has helped. But if there were a way to channel the
amazing insights of blogging into the longer, calmer modes of thinking
... we'd be getting somewhere.

increases, the field opens more and more to a distant view, until the soul

There was no God in his heart, he knew; his ideas were still in riot; there
was ever the pain of memory; the regret for his lost youth - yet the
waters of disillusion had left a deposit on his soul, responsibility and a
love of life, the faint stirring of old ambitions and unrealized dreams...
And he could not tell why the struggle was worth while, why he had
determined to use to the utmost himself and his heritage from the
personalities he had passed...
He stretched out his arms to the crystalline, radiant sky.
"I know myself," he cried, "but that is all.”

“Every subject's duty is the King's; but every subject's soul is Like

escapes, it were no sin to think that, making God so free an offer, He let

“We feel that, for the honour of God (and also, though we do Like
not say this, for the sake of our own reputation as spiritual
Christians), it is necessary for us to claim that we are, so to

inside information as to the why and wherefore of God’s doings. This
comforting pretence becomes part of us: we feel sure that God has
enabled us to understand all His ways with us and our circle thus far,
and we take if for granted that we shall be able to see at once the reason
for anything that may happen to us in the future. And then something
very painful and quite inexplicable comes along, and our cheerful
illusion of being in God’s secret councils is shattered. Our pride is
wounded; we feel that God has slighted us; and unless at this point we
repent, and humble ourselves very thoroughly for our former
presumption, our whole subsequent spriritual life may be blighted.”

Humility Quotes
“Good values are 1) reality-based, 2) socially constructive, and Like

3) immediate and controllable. Bad values are 1) superstitious,
2) socially destructive, and 3) not immediate or controllable.
Good, healthy values are achieved internally. Something like
creativity or humility that can be experienced right now. You simply
have to orient your mind in a certain way to experience it. These values
are immediate and controllable and engage you with the world as it is

external events.”

“You have to stay out of the game. It’s deadly and no one ever Like
wins. Everyone is a loser. Even seeming wins are short-lived
and have the taste of bitterness mixed in with the satisfaction of
personal gain. The ego is exclusive by nature. While the spirit
seeks to include, the ego is unashamedly manipulative in its culling of
people. The intention of self-aggrandisement is barely even covered
over. The soul does not see people in terms of what it can gain. It seeks
to share. It seeks to create by extension of its own and others’ true
nature. The ego is extremely changeable. It has no stability. Constantly
guarding against attack and looking out for its own advantage, its
perceptions and thus feelings towards others are ever-shifting. This
creates unhappiness. The more we veer away from our true nature, the
more unhappy we feel. When we align with our better self, we feel happy
again. And so the process continues until the spaces between happiness
are not as long and arduous. The presence or absence of personal peace
is our barometer. It will guide us even if we are not sure of the way.”

“Do we honestly believe that the best witness we can have as Like
Christians before a watching world is to show moral perfection?

While that might convince some, our odds of pulling it off seem

“In most of the Western world, where Christianity still enjoys a Like
significant amount of privilege, especially when practiced by
middle-class, white Christians, Jesus is seen as the heroic
figure, the ultimate example of godliness, holiness, mercy,
compassion, and justice—as well he should! He is God-made-flesh, after
all. However, given that, when we identify with Jesus in the act of foot
washing where we take the role of Jesus, all too often we are
unconsciously (though sometimes all too consciously) assuming those
characteristics onto ourselves. In trying to be Jesus to others, we can
assume a posture of spiritual superiority and/or paternalism. The
recipients of our service, “the least of these”, are then seen as the needy
recipients of our goodness. Again, while affirming the value in such acts
of humble service, too often miss how such posturing fails to recognize
the radical presence of Christ as “the least of these”.” Sign in

“On Wednesday night, November 13, (1861), Lincoln went with Like
Seward and Hay to McClellan's house. Told that the general was
at a wedding, the three waited in the parlor for an hour. When
McClellan arrived home, the porter told him the president was
waiting, but McClellan passed by the parlor room and climbed the stairs
to his private quarters. After another half hour, Lincoln again sent word
that he was waiting, only to be informed that the general had gone to
sleep. Young John Hay was enraged, " I wish here to record what I
consider a portent of evil to come," he wrote in his diary, recounting
what he considered an inexcusable "insolence of epaulettes," the first
indicator "of the threatened supremacy of the military authorities." To
Hay's surprise, Lincoln "seemed not to have noticed it specially, saying
it was better at this time not to be making points of etiquette & personal
dignity." He would hold McClellan's horse, he once said, if a victory
could be achieved.
Though Lincoln, the consummate pragmatist, did not express anger at

McClellan's rebuff, his aides fumed at every instance of such arrogance.
Lincoln's secretary, William Stoddard, described the infuriating delay
when he accompanied Lincoln to McClellan's anteroom. "A minute
passes, then another, and then another, and with every tick of the clock
upon the mantel your blood warms nearer and nearer its boiling-point.
Your face feels hot and your fingers tingle, as you look at the man,
sitting so patiently over there...and you try to master your rebellious
consciousness." As time went by, Lincoln visited the haughty general
less frequently. If he wanted to talk with McClellan, he sent a summons
for him to appear at the White House.”

The answer is that it doesn't matter. There is no end zone. To

talking about a lot of hours - that to get where we want to go

“Perfect' - the most misattributed word in English language Like
A 'perfect' thing can never be improved - at least by what the meaning

benchmark based in fantasy on others.
Makes one come across as judgmental, intolerant, arrogant or impatient

literally the result of your discipline.
"Now, what is interesting about this process is that, by the time
someone has acquired the ability to kill with his bare hands, he has also
matured to the point where he won't use it unwisely. So that kind of

“Jesus Christ is the source—the only source—of meaning in Like
life. He provides the only satisfactory explanation for why we’re

here and where we’re going. Because of this good news, the
final heartbeat for the Christian is not the mysterious
conclusion to a meaningless existence. It is, rather, the grand beginning
to a life that will never end. That same Lord is waiting to embrace and
forgive anyone who comes to Him in humility and repentance. He is
calling your name, just as He called the name of Pete Maravich. His
promise of eternal life offers the only hope for humanity. If you have
never met this Jesus, I suggest that you seek spiritual counsel from a
Christian leader who can offer guidance. You can also write to me, if that
would help. Thanks for reading along with me. I hope to meet you
someday. If our paths don’t cross this side of heaven, I’ll be looking for

“It's through the cross that we reach the resurrection. We Like

should be absolutely sure of this truth, and we should keep this
cross hidden and not place it on the shoulders of others. It is our
cross we have to carry. It is the one God has given us to go
through into His resurrection. This is the one we should keep hidden.
But there are crosses and crosses, some of our own making. These we
should immediately discard. Some permitted by God for our
sanctification. These we can share for they are also for the sanctification
of others. True, we can help to carry other people's crosses and they can Sign in
help to carry our crosses, but the operative word is "hidden."
The Lord said, "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with
trumpets as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be
honoured by men," and "When you fast, put oil on your head and wash
your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but
only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is
done in secret, will reward you." (Mt 6:16-18)
Our very hiddenness becomes a light if we do not complain, if we carry

our cross manfully, ready to help in the carrying of other people's
crosses. Then we become a light to our neighbour's feet because we
become an icon of Christ—shining!”

Humility Quotes
“For thousands of years, it had been nature--and its supposed Like
creator--that had had a monopoly on awe. It had been the

icecaps, the deserts, the volcanoes and the glaciers that had
given us a sense of finitude and limitation and had elicited a
feeling in which fear and respect coagulated into a strangely pleasing
feeling of humility, a feeling which the philosophers of the eighteenth
century had famously termed the sublime.
But then had come a transformation to which we were still the heirs....
Over the course of the nineteenth century, the dominant catalyst for that
feeling of the sublime had ceased to be nature. We were now deep in the
era of the technological sublime, when awe could most powerfully be
invoked not by forests or icebergs but by supercomputers, rockets and
particle accelerators. We were now almost exclusively amazed by

“When I look at the clues that indicate the nature of Jesus – born in a Like
barn, questionable parents, spotty ancestry, common name, misdirected
announcement, unattractive looks, reared in a bad neighborhood,
owning nothing, surrounding himself with unattractive co-workers, and
dying a shameful death – I find his whole approach unable to fit into the
methods that automatically come to mind when I think about “winning
the world.” His whole approach could easily be described as
nonthreatening or nonmanipulative. He seemed to lead with weakness in
each step of life. He had nothing in the world and everything in God and
the Spirit.” Sign in

“...there began to come to her a first dim realization of God's Like
humility. Rejected by the proud in His own right by what

humble means He chose to succor them; through the spirit of a
child, a poor gypsy or an old man, by a song perhaps, or even it
might be by the fall of a leaf or the scent of a flower. For His infinite and
humble patience nothing was too small to advance His purpose of
salvation and eternity was not too long for its accomplishment.”

“We should get into the way of appearing lively in religion, Like
more by being lively in the service of God and our generation
than by the liveliness and forwardness of our tongues, and
making a business of proclaiming on the house tops with our
mouths the holy and eminent acts and exercises of our own hearts.
Christians that are intimate friends would talk together of their
experiences and comforts in a manner better becoming Christian
humility and modesty, and more to each other's profit: their tongues not
running before, but rather going behind their hands and feet, after the
prudent example of the blessed apostle, 2 Cor. xii. 6. Many occasions of
spiritual pride would thus be cut off, and so a great door shut against the
devil. A great many of the main stumbling-blocks against experimental
and powerful religion would be removed, and religion would be declared
and manifested in such a way that, instead of hardening spectators, and
exceedingly promoting infidelity and atheism, it would, above all things,
tend to convince men that there is a reality in religion, and greatly
awaken them, and win them, by convincing their consciences of the
importance and excellency of religion. Thus the light of professors would
so shine before men, that others, seeing their good works, would glorify
their Father which is in heaven.”

“This is where Lent starts, with the voice of God, singing the praise of Like
Jesus, the Son. Just as this affirmation calls Jesus into the wilderness, so
it calls us, too. We are starting out from a place of loving acceptance, not
from one of rejection; we are starting out with the certainty that God
knows who we are and loves us, so that are explorations are to find out
why that should be. We are exploring a reality that is given to us, not
achieved by our own effort. Yet, glorious as this sounds, it is also
terrifying, because if it starts with God and not with us, then we are not
in control of it. Jesus steps into the River Jordan with such apparent
ease, laying aside all claims to define himself, and that is our journey,
too. So easy and so hard.”

“If there is any one person you can't love, then you don't Like
understand love. The bitter cup we have to drink is the dregs of

humility; we must see past the outer shells of insecurity to the
seed of divinity deep inside each one of us.
No one virtue is strong enough to stand on its own. No one vice is simple
enough not to lead to all others. No one person can appreciate and
support us as much as we need. No one event is enough to tear apart our
lives.
What does this all mean?
We have to give everything or we will have nothing. We cannot take any
short cuts. We have to love everyone, or we cannot truly love anyone. No
excuse will mean anything to us in the end.
People are beautiful, don’t forget that.
Don’t let pomp and circumstance, society or folklore fool you with
counterfeit beauty.
True beauty is usually not something you can see, but something you
feel; something that inspires you.”

is first cleansed of sin and then emptied of self. Perhaps this truth can be
more readily made clear by a simple illustration. Let us imagine a clear,
crystal stream of living water flowing beside a broad way. There comes a
tired, worn-out, thirsty traveller. He sees the water, but it flows under
such circumstances as to make it impossible for him to reach this stream
from his mouth. He spies three vessels: a golden goblet, a silver pitcher,
and a tin cup. Upon investigation he finds that the golden goblet us filled
with something else. The silver pitcher is empty, apparently ready for
service but is soiled within; the tin cup alone is clean and emptied. We
leave it to you to decide which one he chooses. To rightly get at the heart
of this great truth, meditate on: Acts 24:16; 2 Tim. 2:20-21; and 1 Cor.
1:26-30. Which kind are you?”

world. So, no matter how talented, famous and wealthy you are, know
that you are just a microphone, a messenger, that is amplifying a
message that is passing through you. How can a messenger ever take
credit for the message? This doesn’t mean you must not celebrate
yourself or market yourself well or profit economically. Surely, you may!
But do it being fully aware that without the Source choosing you,
without ‘your’ art flowing through you, there would be no acclaim, no
recognition. So, stay humble, stay grateful!”

“We can perhaps hold both the desire to separate from these bodily Like Sign in
memories and the willingness to be with them in the broad embrace of
welcome and compassion.
I do believe this kind of acceptance is a lifetime's work that inevitably
leads to 'failure' at times. Our biology wants to protect us from what
may harm us, and the arising of implicit memory can feel quite
threatening.
If we can soften towards our own tendency to want to move away and
offer to begin again with gestures of inclusion, this is likely what is
possible and optimal for us humans.
Humility and grace are perhaps the gifts of this tension, gifts that we
can then extend to our people in the form of honoring their struggle.”

3. Life happens through us and not because of us.
4. This human form, this lifetime, is a gift that we must be eternally
grateful for.
So, even if we can’t teach them or give them anything else, let us imbue
in our children an appreciation for Life through these four perspectives

them for going through Life with equanimity, happily, despite whatever

“We live in a time when there seem to be very few heroes. The original Like
meaning of hero was someone favored by heaven and having godlike
qualities. A hero is not without humility; humility is our awareness of
our dependence on Spirit, and our interdependence with our fellow
human beings. Gandhi, Malcom X, and Martin Luther King were all
examples of both humility and heroism. Often humility exists because of
the hero's connection to a higher aim: humility in front of a great idea,
in front of the Infinity of Life. It is this kind of humility that leads to the
forming of a connection with the infinite creative energy. (p. 144)”

feel as little entitled to assert as to deny the existence of what
others call God, for I must admit that I just do not know what

interpretations through which many people succeed in giving it a
meaning. The conception of a man-like or mind-like acting being
appears to me rather the product of an arrogant overestimation of the
capacities of a man-like mind. [...]
I long hesitated whether to insert this personal note here, but ultimately
decided to do so because support by a professed agnostic may help
religious people more unhesitatingly to pursue that conclusions that we
do share. Perhaps what many people mean in speaking of God is just a
personification of that tradition of morals or values that keeps their

“Let us be exhorted to exalt God alone, and ascribe to him all Like
the glory of redemption. Let us endeavour to obtain, and
increase in, a sensibleness of our great dependence, to have our

must expect happiness. He is prone to have respect to enjoyments alien

this doctrine should teach us to exalt God alone: as by trust and reliance,
so by praise. Let him that glorieth, glory in the Lord. Hath any man hope
that he is converted, and sanctified, and that his mind is endowed with
that true excellency and spiritual beauty? That his sins are forgiven, and
he received into God’s favour, and exalted to the honour and blessedness
of being his child, and an heir of eternal life? Let him give God all the
glory; who alone makes him to differ from the worst of men in this
world, or the most miserable of the damned in hell. Hath any man much
comfort and strong hope of eternal life, let not his hope lift him up, but
to dispose him the more to abase himself, to reflect on his own
exceeding unworthiness of such a favour, and to exalt God alone. Is any

It was humility, thought Rhoda. That was the keynote of Bel's character.
Rhoda had never prized this virtue—she had thought it overrated—but
now she realised that she had been mistaken. Humility was not just an
absence of pride; it was not a negative virtue; it was a definite 'fruit of
the spirit.' False humility was horrible, of course (vide Uriah Heap), but
real humility, growing from within, was beautiful.”

“There is no way to genuinely, powerfully, truly love yourself Like
while crafting a mask of perfection. I know, you know, we all

know—it's hard to let your pimples and your flaws be seen. It's
hard to stumble and bumble. It's hard to not know the right
things to do or say. It's hard to not look like TV.
Sometimes, it's really hard for me to be the awkward mess that I am

when I'm authentic, instead of having runway authenticity—all natural,
but flawless. But every time I allow that to be okay, not just around
myself but around others—I affirm something to myself. I affirm, to
myself more than anyone else, that I am lovable and acceptable
unconditionally. I affirm that it's okay to take on and take in all the
flavours and hues of human experience, and not just the ones that are
acceptable in this culture, in this time, in this place.
And that kind of acceptance, that kind of love—that's the kind of love
that creates miracles. That's the kind of love I really need. That's the
kind of love that makes approval taste like cardboard.”

“I call this a Divine Humility because it is a poor thing to strike Like
our colors to God when the ship is going down under us; a poor
thing to come to him as a last resort, to offer up 'our own' when
it is no longer worth keeping. If God were proud He would
hardly have us on such terms: but He is not proud, He stoops to conquer,
He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything
else to him, and come to him because there is 'nothing better' now to be
had. The same humility is shown by all those Divine appeals to our fears
which trouble high-minded readers of Scripture. It is hardly
complimentary to God that we should choose Him as an alternative to
Hell: yet even this He accepts. The creatures illusion to self-sufficiency
must, for the creature's sake, be shattered; and by trouble or fear of
trouble on earth, by crude fear of eternal flames, God shatters it
'unmindful of his glory's diminution'. Those who would like the God of
Scripture to be more purely ethical, do not know what they ask.”

much else, in letters and in life, that he found much more interesting! As
far as I am able to judge, it was this that lay behind that distinctive
combination of an almost supreme intellectual and 'phantastic'

“Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly. This Like
has always been the instinct of Christendom, and especially the
instinct of Christian art. Remember how Fra Angelico
represented all his angels, not only as birds, but almost as
butterflies. Remember how the most earnest medieval art was full of
light and fluttering draperies, of quick and capering feet...In the old
Christian pictures the sky over every figure is like a blue or gold
parachute. Every figure seems ready to fly up and float about in the
heavens. The tattered cloak of the beggar will bear him up like the rayed
plumes of the angels. But the kings in their heavy gold and the proud in
their robes of purple will all of their nature sink downwards, for pride
cannot rise to levity or levitation. Pride is the downward drag of all
things into an easy solemnity. One "settles down" into a sort of selfish
seriousness; but one has to rise to a gay self-forgetfulness. A man
"falls" into a brown study; he reaches up at a blue sky.”

“Your patient has become humble; have you drawn his attention Like
to the fact? All virtues are less formidable to us once the man is
aware that he has them, but this is specially true of humility.
Catch him at the moment when he is really poor in spirit and
smuggle into his mind the gratifying reflection, 'By jove! I'm being
humble!', and almost immediately pride—pride at his own humility—
will appear. If he awakes to the danger and tries to smother this new
form of pride, make him proud of his attempt—and so on, through as
many stages a you please. But don't try this too long, for fear you may
awake his sense of humour and proportion, in which case he will merely
laugh at you and go to bed.”

“Humility was an offensive characteristic for a God, in the eyes of early Like

“Mary was proud of her husband, not merely because he was a Like
musician, but because he was a blacksmith. For, with the true

taste of a right woman, she honored the manhood that could do
hard work. The day will come, and may I do something to help it
hither, when the youth of our country will recognize that, taken in itself,
it is a more manly, and therefore in the old true sense a more _gentle_
thing, to follow a good handicraft, if it make the hands black as a coal,
than to spend the day in keeping books, and making up accounts, though
therein the hands should remain white--or red, as the case may be. Not
but that, from a higher point of view still, all work, set by God, and done
divinely, is of equal honor; but, where there is a choice, I would gladly
see boy of mine choose rather to be a blacksmith, or a watchmaker, or a
bookbinder, than a clerk. Production, making, is a higher thing in the
scale of reality, than any mere transmission, such as buying and selling.
It is, besides, easier to do honest work than to buy and sell honestly. The
more honor, of course, to those who are honest under the greater
difficulty! But the man who knows how needful the prayer, "Lead us not
into temptation," knows that he must not be tempted into temptation
even by the glory of duty under difficulty. In humility we must choose
the easiest, as we must hold our faces unflinchingly to the hardest, even
to the seeming impossible, when it is given us to do.”

that Maurice Maignan, one of the first companions of Ozanam, made

not profit from exercises designed for strong souls. O my God, show me
the exercises designed for feeble souls. Would the saints have forgotten
or disdained them? Yet even if the saints did not think of these poor
souls, who are nevertheless most numerous, You, Lord, my mercy, have
not abandoned them. You Yourself, Good Master, have burdened Yourself
with them. I know that better than anyone. I am one of those souls, and
I bless You for having revealed to the weak and the little ones what You
do not always accord to the valiant and the strong.”

“In the Christic tradition, this is the meaning of 'becoming as a Like Sign in

older and wiser to explain things to them. We're like children
who don't know but think we do. We're meant to shine. Look at small
children. They're all so unique before they start trying to be, because
they demonstrate the power of genuine humility. This is also the
explanation of 'beginner's luck.' When we go into a situation not
knowing the rules, we don't pretend to know how to figure anything out,
and we don't know yet what there is to be afraid of. This releases the
mind to create from its own higher power." ”

“A kind of northing is what I wish to accomplish, a single- Like

minded trek towards that place where any shutter left open to
the zenith at night will record the wheeling of all the sky’s stars
as a pattern of perfect, concentric circles. I seek a reduction, a
shedding, a sloughing off.
At the seashore you often see a shell, or fragment of a shell, that sharp
sands and surf have thinned to a wisp. There is no way you can tell what
kind of shell it had been, what creature it had housed; it could have been
a whelk or a scallop, a cowrie, limpet, or conch. The animal is long since
dissolved, and its blood spread and thinned in the general sea. All you
hold in your hand is a cool shred of shell, an inch long, pared so thin
that it passes a faint pink light. It is an essence, a smooth condensation
of the air, a curve. I long for the North where unimpeded winds would
hone me to such a pure slip of bone. But I’ll not go northing this year.
I’ll stalk that floating pole and frigid air by waiting here. I wait on
bridges; I wait, struck, on forest paths and meadow’s fringes, hilltops
and banksides, day in and day out, and I receive a southing as a gift. The
North washes down the mountains like a waterfall, like a tidal wave, and
pours across the valley; it comes to me. It sweetens the persimmons and
numbs the last of the crickets and hornets; it fans the flames of the
forest maples, bows the meadow’s seeded grasses and pokes it chilling
fingers under the leaf litter, thrusting the springtails and the Sign in
earthworms deeper into the earth. The sun heaves to the south by day,

“Today is the winter solstice. The planet tilts just so to its star, Like
lists and holds circling in a fixed tension between veering and

longing, and spins helpless, exalted, in and out of that fleet
blazing touch. Last night Orion vaulted and spread all over the
sky, pagan and lunatic, his shoulder and knee on fire, his sword three
suns at the ready-for what?
I won’t see this year again, not again so innocent; and longing wrapped
round my throat like a scarf. “For the Heavenly Father desires that we
should see,” says Ruysbroeck, “and that is why He is ever saying to our
inmost spirit one deep unfathomable word and nothing else.” But what
is the word? Is this mystery or coyness? A cast-iron bell hung from the
arch of my rib cage; when I stirred, it rang, or it tolled, a long syllable
pulsing ripples up my lungs and down the gritty sap inside my bones,
and I couldn’t make it out; I felt the voiced vowel like a sigh or a note
but I couldn’t catch the consonant that shaped it into sense.”

“I want to think about trees. Trees have a curious relationship Like
to the subject of the present moment. There are many created

things in the universe that outlive us, that outlive the sun, even,
but I can’t think about them. I live with trees. There are
creatures under our feet, creatures that live over our heads, but trees live
quite convincingly in the same filament of air we inhabit, and in
addition, they extend impressively in both directions, up and down,
shearing rock and fanning air, doing their real business just out of
reach.”

“It looked as though the leaves of the autumn forest had taken Like
flight, and were pouring down the valley like a waterfall, like a
tidal wave, all the leaves of the hardwoods from here to
Hudson’s Bay. It was as if the season’s colors were draining
away like lifeblood, as if the year were molting and shedding. The year
was rolling down, and a vital curve had been reached, the tilt that gives
way to headlong rush. And when the monarch butterflies had passed and
were gone, the skies were vacant, the air poised. The dark night into
which the year was plunging was not a sleep but an awakening, a new
and necessary austerity, the sparer climate for which I longed. The shed
trees were brittle and still, the creek light and cold, and my spirit
holding its breath.”

“All at once, something wonderful happened, although at first, Like
it seemed perfectly ordinary. A female goldfinch suddenly hove

into view. She lighted weightlessly on the head of a bankside
purple thistle and began emptying the seedcase, sowing the air
with down.
The lighted frame of my window filled. The down rose and spread in all
directions, wafting over the dam’s waterfall and wavering between the
tulip trunks and into the meadow. It vaulted towards the orchard in a
puff; it hovered over the ripening pawpaw fruit and staggered up the
steep faced terrace. It jerked, floated, rolled, veered, swayed. The thistle

the creek over rocks down. It shuddered onto the tips of growing
grasses, where it poised, light, still wracked by errant quivers. I was
holding my breath. Is this where we live, I thought, in this place in this
moment, with the air so light and wild?
The same fixity that collapses stars and drives the mantis to devour her
mate eased these creatures together before my eyes: the thick adept bill
of the goldfinch, and the feathery coded down. How could anything be
amiss? If I myself were lighter and frayed, I could ride these small
winds, too, taking my chances, for the pleasure of being so purely
played.
The thistle is part of Adam’s curse. “Cursed is the ground for thy sake,
in sorrow shalt thou eat of it; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth
to thee.” A terrible curse: But does the goldfinch eat thorny sorrow with
the thistle or do I? If this furling air is fallen, then the fall was happy
indeed. If this creekside garden is sorrow, then I seek martyrdom.
I was weightless; my bones were taut skins blown with buoyant gas; it
seemed that if I inhaled too deeply, my shoulders and head would waft
off. Alleluia.”

“The color-patches of vision part, shift, and reform as I move Like
through space in time. The present is the object of vision, and

what I see before me at any given second is a full field of color
patches scattered just so. The configuration will never be
repeated. Living is moving; time is a live creek bearing changing lights.
As I move, or as the world moves around me, the fullness of what I see
shatters. “Last forever!” Who hasn’t prayed that prayer? You were lucky
to get it in the first place. The present is a freely given canvas. That it is
constantly being ripped apart and washed downstream goes without
saying; it is a canvas, nevertheless.
But there is more to the present than a series of snapshots. We are not
merely sensitized film; we have feelings, a memory for information and
an eidetic memory for the imagery of our pasts.
Our layered consciousness is a tiered track for an unmatched assortment

of concentrically wound reels. Each one plays out for all of life its dazzle
and blur of translucent shadow-pictures; each one hums at every
moment its own secret melody in its own unique key. We tune in and
out. But moments are not lost. Time out of mind is time nevertheless,
cumulative, informing the present. From even the deepest slumber you
wake with a jolt- older, closer to death, and wiser, grateful for breath.
But time is the one thing we have been given, and we have been given to
time. Time gives us a whirl. We keep waking from a dream we can’t
recall, looking around in surprise, and lapsing back, for years on end. All
I want to do is stay awake, keep my head up, prop my eyes open, with
toothpicks, with trees.”

“And under the cicadas, deeper down that the longest taproot, Like
between and beneath the rounded black rocks and slanting slabs
of sandstone in the earth, ground water is creeping. Ground
water seeps and slides, across and down, across and down,
leaking from here to there, minutely at a rate of a mile a year. What a
tug of waters goes on! There are flings and pulls in every direction at
every moment. The world is a wild wrestle under the grass; earth shall
be moved.
What else is going on right this minute while ground water creeps under
my feet? The galaxy is careening in a slow, muffled widening. If a
million solar systems are born every hour, then surely hundreds burst
into being as I shift my weight to the other elbow. The sun’s surface is
now exploding; other stars implode and vanish, heavy and black, out of
sight. Meteorites are arcing to earth invisibly all day long. On the planet,
the winds are blowing: the polar easterlies, the westerlies, the northeast
and southeast trades. Somewhere, someone under full sail is becalmed,
in the horse latitudes, in the doldrums; in the northland, a trapper is
maddened, crazed, by the eerie scent of the chinook, the sweater, a wind
that can melt two feet of snow in a day. The pampero blows, and the
tramontane, and the Boro, sirocco, levanter, mistral. Lick a finger; feel
the now.
Spring is seeping north, towards me and away from me, at sixteen miles
a day. Along estuary banks of tidal rivers all over the world, snails in
black clusters like currants are gliding up and down the stems of reed
and sedge, migrating every moment with the dip and swing of tides.
Behind me, Tinker Mountain is eroding one thousandth of an inch a
year. The sharks I saw are roving up and down the coast. If the sharks
cease roving, if they still their twist and rest for a moment, they die.
They need new water pushed into their gills; they need dance.
Somewhere east of me, on another continent, it is sunset, and starlings
in breathtaking bands are winding high in the sky to their evening roost.
The mantis egg cases are tied to the mock-orange hedge; within each
case, within each egg, cells elongate, narrow, and split; cells bubble and
curve inward, align, harden or hollow or stretch. And where are you

Mountains burst up, jutting and dull and soften before your eyes, clothed

A blue-green streaks the highest ridges, a yellow-green spreads from

the south like a wave up a strand. A red dye seems to leak from the north
down the ridges and into the valleys, seeping south; a white follows the
red, then yellow-green washes north, then red spreads again, then
white, over and over, making patterns of color too swift and intricate to
follow. Slow the film. You see dust storms, locusts, floods, in dizzying
flash frames.
Zero in on a well-watered shore and see smoke from fires drifting. Stone
cities rise, spread, and then crumble, like patches of alpine blossoms
that flourish for a day an inch above the permafrost, that iced earth no
root can suck, and wither in a hour. New cities appear, and rivers sift silt
onto their rooftops; more cities emerge and spread in lobes like lichen on
rock. The great human figures of history, those intricate, spirited tissues
that roamed the earth’s surface, are a wavering blur whose split second
in the light was too brief an exposure to yield any images. The great
herds of caribou pour into the valleys and trickle back, and pour, a
brown fluid.
Slow it down more, come closer still. A dot appears, like a flesh-flake. It

“Xerxes, I read, ‘halted his unwieldy army for days that he Like

sycamore.
You are Xerxes in Persia. Your army spreads on a vast and arid
peneplain…you call to you all your sad captains, and give the order to
halt. You have seen the tree with the lights in it, haven’t you? You must
have. Xerxes buffeted on a plain, ambition drained in a puff. Your men
are bewildered…there is nothing to catch the eye in this flatness,
nothing but a hollow, hammering sky, a waste of sedge in the lee of
windblown rocks, a meager ribbon of scrub willow tracing a slumbering
watercourse…and that sycamore. You saw it; you will stand rapt and
mute, exalted, remembering or not remembering over a period of days to
shade your head with your robe.
“He had its form wrought upon a medal of gold to help him remember it
the rest of his life.” We all ought to have a goldsmith following us
around. But it goes without saying, doesn’t it, Xerxes, that no gold
medal worn around your neck will bring back the glad hour, keep those
lights kindled so long as you live, forever present? Pascal saw it; he
grabbed pen and paper and scrawled the one word, and wore it sewn in
his shirt the rest of his life. I don’t know what Pascal saw. I saw a cedar.

“Last year I had a very unusual experience. I was awake, with Like
my eyes closed, when I had a dream. It was a small dream about

time. I was dead, I guess, in deep blank space high up above
many white stars. My own consciousness had been disclosed to
me, and I was happy. Then I saw far below me a long, curved band of
color. As I came closer, I saw that it stretched endlessly in either
direction, and I understood that I was seeing all the time of the planet
where I had lived. It looked like a woman’s tweed scarf; the longer I
studied any one spot, the more dots of color I saw. There was no end to
the deepness and variety of dots. At length I started to look for my time,
but, although more and more specks of color and deeper and more
intricate textures appeared in the fabric, I couldn’t find my time, or any
time at all that I recognized as being near my time. I couldn’t make out
so much as a pyramid. Yet as I looked at the band of time, all the
individual people, I understood with special clarity, were living at that
very moment with great emotion, in intricate, detail, in their individual
times and places, and they were dying and being replaced by ever more
people, one by one, like stitches in which wholly worlds of feeling and
energy were wrapped in a never-ending cloth. I remembered suddenly
the color and texture of our life as we knew it- these things had been
utterly forgotten- and I thought as I searched for it on the limitless
band, “that was a good time then, a good time to be living.” And I began
to remember our time.
I recalled green fields with carrots growing, one by one, in slender rows.
Men and women in bright vests and scarves came and pulled the carrots
out of the soil and carried them in baskets to shaded kitchens, where
they scrubbed them with yellow brushes under running water. I saw
white-faced cattle lowing and wading in creeks. I saw May apples in
forests, erupting through leaf-strewn paths. Cells on the root hairs of
sycamores split and divided, and apples grew spotted and striped in the
fall. Mountains kept their cool caves and squirrels raced home to their
nests through sunlight and shade.
I remembered the ocean, and I seemed to be in the ocean myself,

swimming over orange crabs that looked like coral, or off the deep
Atlantic banks where whitefish school. Or again I saw the tops of
poplars, and the whole sky brushed with clouds in pallid streaks, under
which wild ducks flew with outstretched necks, and called, one by one,
and flew on.
All these things I saw. Scenes grew in depth and sunlit detail before my
eyes, and were replaced by ever more scenes, as I remember the life of
my time with increasing feeling.
At last I saw the earth as a globe in space, and I recalled the ocean’s
shape and the form of continents, saying to myself with surprise as I
looked at the planet, “yes, that’s how it was then, that part there was
called France.” I was filled with the deep affection of nostalgia- and Sign in
then I opened my eyes.
We all ought to be able to conjure up sights like these at will, so that we
can keep in mind the scope of texture’s motion in time.”

“You are God. You want to make a forest, something to hold the Like
soil, lock up energy, and give off oxygen. Wouldn’t it be simpler

just to rough in a slab of chemicals, a green acre of goo?
You are a man, a retired railroad worker who makes replicas as a hobby.
You decide to make a replica of one tree, the longleaf pine your great-
grandfather planted- just a replica- it doesn’t have to work. How are
you going to do it? How long do you think you might live, how good is
your glue? For one thing, you are going to have to dig a hole and stick
your replica trunk halfway to China if you want the thing to stand up.
Because you will have to work fairly big; if your replica is too small,
you’ll be unable to handle the slender, three-sided needles, affix them in
clusters of three in fascicles, and attach those laden fascicles to flexible
twigs. The twigs themselves must be covered by “many silvery-white,
fringed, long-spreading scales.” Are your pine cones’ scales “thin, flat,
rounded at the apex?” When you loose the lashed copper wire trussing
the limbs to the trunk, the whole tree collapses like an umbrella.
You are a sculptor. You climb a great ladder; you pour grease all over a
growing longleaf pine. Next, you build a hollow cylinder around the
entire pine…and pour wet plaster over and inside the pine. Now open the
walls, split the plaster, saw down the tree, remove it, discard, and your
intricate sculpture is ready: this is the shape of part of the air.
You are a chloroplast moving in water heaved one hundred feet above
ground. Hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen in a ring around
magnesium…you are evolution; you have only begun to make trees. You
are god- are you tired? Finished?”

“Were the earth as smooth as a ball bearing, it might be Like

But here we live and move; we wander up and down the banks

element necessarily enters the question. The texture of space is a
condition of time. Time is the warp and matter the weft of woven texture

“I am sitting here, you are sitting there. Say even that you are Like
sitting across the kitchen table from me right now. Our eyes
meet; a consciousness snaps back and forth. What we know, at
least for starters, is: here we- so incontrovertibly- are. This is
our life, these are our lighted seasons, and then we die. In the meantime,
in between time, we can see. The scales are fallen from our eyes, the
cataracts are cut away, and we can work at making sense of the color-
patches we see in an effort to discover where we so incontrovertibly are.
I am as passionately interested in where I am as is a lone sailor sans

sextant in a ketch on an open ocean. I have at the moment a situation
which allows me to devote considerable hunks of time to seeing what I
can see, and trying to piece it together. I’ve learned the name of some
color-patches, but not the meanings. I’ve read books; I’ve gathered
statistics feverishly: the average temperature of our planet is 57 degrees
F…The average size of all living animals, including man, is almost that
of a housefly. The earth is mostly granite, which is mostly oxygen…In
these Appalachians we have found a coal bed with 120 seams, meaning
120 forests that just happened to fall into water…I would like to see it all,
to understand it, but I must start somewhere, so I try to deal with the
giant water bug in Tinker Creek and the flight of three hundred redwings
from an Osage orange and let those who dare worry about the birthrate
and population explosion among solar systems.
So I think about the valley. And it occurs to me more and more that
everything I have seen is wholly gratuitous. The giant water bug’s
predations, the frog’s croak, the tree with the lights in it are not in any
real sense necessary per se to the world or its creator. Nor am I. The
creation in the first place, being itself, is the only necessity for which I
would die, and I shall. The point about that being, as I know it here and
see it, is that as I think about it, it accumulates in my mind as an
extravagance of minutiae. The sheer fringe and network of detail
assumes primary importance. That there are so many details seems to be
the most important and visible fact about creation. If you can’t see the
forest for the trees, then look at the trees; when you’ve looked at enough
trees, you’ve seen a forest, you’ve got it. If the world is gratuitous, then
the fringe of a goldfish’s fin is a million times more so. The first
question- the one crucial one- of the creation of the universe and the
existence of something as a sign and an affront to nothing is a blank
one…
The old Kabbalistic phrase is “the Mystery of the Splintering of the

Vessels.” The words refer to the shrinking or imprisonment of essences
within the various husk-covered forms of emanation or time. The
Vessels splintered and solar systems spun; ciliated rotifers whirled in
still water, and newts laid tracks in the silt-bottomed creek. Not only did
the Vessels splinter; they splintered exceeding fine. Intricacy then is the
subject, the intricacy of the created world.”

“Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery. The Like
surface of mystery is not smooth, any more than the planet is

smooth; not even a single hydrogen atom is smooth, let alone a
pine. Nor does it fit together; not even the chlorophyll and
hemoglobin molecules are a perfect match, for, even after the atom of
iron replaces the magnesium, long streamers of disparate atoms trail
disjointedly from the rims of the molecule’s loops. Freedom cuts both
ways. Mystery itself is as fringed and intricate at the shape of the air at
times. Forays into mystery cut bays and fine fjords, but the forested
mainland itself is implacable both in its bulk and in its most filigreed
fringe of detail.”

“Through life, I want to walk gently. I want to treat all of life – Like
the earth and its people – with reverence. I want to remove my

shoes in the presence of holy ground. As much as possible, I
want to walk in peace.
I want to walk lightly, even joyfully, through whatever days I am given. I

want to laugh easily. I want to step carefully in and out of people's lives
and relationships. I don't want to tread any heavier than necessary.
And throughout life, I think I would like to walk with more humility and
less anger, more love and less fear. I want to walk confidently, but
without arrogance. I want to walk in deep appreciation. I want to be Sign in

“God doesn’t give us pain to make us strong. He gives us Like

strength to look inside ourselves and realize we are not innocent
victims. When you learn humility, you are no longer a victim
because a humble man is not self-absorbed. He seeks to
understand why people are hurting him and takes responsibility for his
part in their grief. Humility doesn’t dwell with anger or pride, and
neither does God.”

“I believe a man’s finest hour often comes when he is at his Like
weakest. When he is broken, affronted and at a place of great

emotional transparency. It’s there he has the rare insight of an
inescapable truth…he’s merely a man. As his bravado washes
away into a puddle of reflective tears, it reveals that he is merely flesh,
blood and bones and amounts to very little without the love and
guidance of our creator. It’s only then, that I believe, a man begins to
truly find his way.”

“A man needs to feel powerful and respected. Innately within Like
us, as far back as we can remember, we have taught ourselves to

others and in doing so we have built our conceptual house of self on the
sand of societal opinion. Yet, ironically, it’s only when a man finds his
true strength in humility, in its purest sense, will he ever experience
what genuine power and respect feels like. The man who builds his
conceptual house of self on the rock of unpretentious decorum simply
needs no validation outside of his creator. He is who he is…and for all
intense and purposes that is the only respectable power any man should
ever seek.”

“Who among us is greater? True humility and servant Like
leadership is a rare and elusive attribute these days however the

greatest example of this spirit is beautifully documented in John
13, verses 3-5 “Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all
things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to
God, rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and
girded Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to
wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He
was girded.” Just moments before this humble undertaking His disciples
were arguing with each other about who among them was greater. This
simple but powerful example of strength in humility should be our
pattern in how we treat and consider others. Regardless of our stature,
our positions in our communities and within our own families, true Sign in
greatness begins and ends with a servant’s heart and a humble spirit. I
submit to you, the
My greatest
Books among us are those who are willing ▾
to put
others before themselves. ~Jason Versey”

“Humility cannot be taught by propaganda, though slavery can. Like
Shouting for humility is a form of arrogance. One of my most abiding

recollections is of a priest at a religious occasion once roaring, in the
most threatening way imaginable:
‘O our Lord God, we most humbly pray…!’
Real humility is not always the same as apparent humility. Remember
that fighting against self-conceit is still fighting: and that it will tend to
suppress it temporarily. It does not cure anything.
Remember, too, that humility itself does not bring an automatic reward:
it is a means to an end. It enables a person to operate in a certain
manner.”

“If you have to walk along a dark mountain path, don’t you prefer to Like
have a flashlight to shine on the path ahead? I would suggest that it is

possible to have that flashlight in life all the time. What does a flashlight
give us? Light.
That is, a flashlight sheds light. It is like the faculty of attention—if we

turn our full attention to something, we learn more about that thing. We
are seeing it with more light. Our attention is our ‘flashlight.’ So it’s all
about how much and how fun an attention we consciously bring to life.
This quality of attention doesn’t make us hesitant, or slow to decide,
particularly—just as the flashlight doesn’t make us hang back on the
trail. So, how do we get to the better quality of attention? With attention!
That is, we turn our attention on our attention; we start by trying to see
how we don’t pay attention. We sort of keep that light on ourselves.
‘Know thyself’ has been an honored ancient teaching, and it’s still a
cornerstone of the world’s greatest philosophies. If you watch yourself
honestly, in a detached way—not guilt-tripping yourself when you
screw up—you gradually learn where it was that you were just
blundering along, reacting sort of mechanically, and being asleep even
as you were in your waking day. Another way to make this happen is by
returning your whole attention to the present—to what’s happening
now, in this moment, and this moment, and on—within yourself and
around you.”

“There is a fine line between humility and humiliation, and Like

when Augustine’s critics, both loyal and disloyal, fault him for
morbid self-criticism, they generally mean to imply that he has
crossed the line. You can have a relationship with another
person only if you know something of humility; otherwise your ego gets
in the way. If, however, you are humiliated instead of humbled, there is
no ‘you’ to enter into a relationship. Massilians and Pelagians had
differing understandings of when humility before God became too much
of a good thing, but they had common cause in not liking Augustine’s
scruples about the human will to relate to God. If everything about the
soul’s relationship to God is God’s doing, including the very desire to be
in relation, where exactly does the soul surface in its redemption? The
Word seems to have become a monologue.”
― James Wetzel

“CARDINAL WOLSEY Like
So farewell to the little good you bear me.

Farewell! a long farewell, to all my greatness!
This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honours thick upon him;
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost,
And, when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root,
And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured,
Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders,
This many summers in a sea of glory,
But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride
At length broke under me and now has left me,
Weary and old with service, to the mercy
Of a rude stream, that must for ever hide me.
Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye:
I feel my heart new open'd. O, how wretched
Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours!
There is, betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,
More pangs and fears than wars or women have:
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again”

for just the (hypothetical) logician. You see, towards God I

“Someone with a low degree of epistemic arrogance is not too Like

visible, like a shy person at a cocktail party. We are not
predisposed to respect humble people, those who try to suspend
judgement. Now contemplate epistemic humility. Think of
someone heavily introspective, tortured by the awareness of his own
ignorance. He lacks the courage of the idiot, yet has the rare guts to say
"I don't know." He does not mind looking like a fool or, worse, an
ignoramus. He hesitates, he will not commit, and he agonizes over the
consequences of being wrong. He introspects, introspects, and
introspects until he reaches physical and nervous exhaustion.
This does not necessarily mean he lacks confidence, only that he holds
his own knowledge to be suspect. I will call such a person an
epistemocrat; the province where the laws are structured with this kind
of human fallibility in mind I will can an epistemocracy.”

“Stay Humble. Often anger comes from our own ego and pride. Like
We don't get our own way and so we get angry. But remember,
it's not all about you. :) There are other people on the planet

what others want, sometime you will have to let them have what they
want. Everyone is not here to meet your needs alone. They need to take
care of themselves sometimes too. Sometimes anger is an ego trip. It's
when we think everyone should cater to our needs and do things our
own way. Our pride makes us start to think that it's our way or the
highway. But you are not God. No one but God is God. :) You cannot run
the universe and you are not perfect. These are all good things to remind
ourselves of all the time. Paul says in Romans 12, "Do not think of
yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with
sober judgment." Often times anger comes when we have a high opinion
of ourselves and the way we think things SHOULD be done. But no one of

“The process of enlightenment and evolution can never happen Like

without the realisation of shortcomings. People, when they
think they are the best and can’t get any better, are easily
offended when others see room for improvement. But it is when
you think you are already the best that you have put a ceiling right on
top of your head, a ceiling made of concrete, that stops you from
becoming any better! Be happy when you see an area for improvement!
Be happy that someone pointed it out to you, be happy that there is still
space above you for you to reach towards; and not just an impenetrable
ceiling of satisfaction and ideology.”

“I still get plenty anxious. The weird thing, and the unpleasant Like
surprise for me, of proceeding well into the middle, perhaps
even post-prime of my career is that writing books has not got
any easier. And that doesn't seem fair. I mean, I've been doing it
so surely I should be getting better at it, at least a little bit blasé... And it
seems to be working absolutely the opposite. This book [Big Brother] I
had no confidence in the entirety of its composition, and I only decided I
liked it when I finished the very final draft. This means I'm in a state of
semi-misery for a long time. And I can't blithely seem either that's some
little game I'm playing with myself because, you know, you can easily
come along and you don't like what's you're writing for good reason.
Right? So, yeah, it's very anxious making, I don't think it's so much the
becoming a little more successful, I think it's becoming slightly more
aware of how much has already been written, and just becoming less
self-impressed as the years go by. More impressed with some people
who are better than I am, but... It doesn't wow me that I can write a
sentence any more. It has to be a really good sentence. And... I think
that's what potentially leads to paralysis in late career, is a kind of
killing humility.

“The humble woman is surprised by all the good that she sees Like

from Wall Street is giddy or glum. She faces her character defects
without getting discouraged. Her humble confidence in God’s love and
her enchantment with the kabod Yahweh shape a hedge of thorns
against self-absorption and frees her for an unselfconscious presence to
others.”

“You will never be able to end any battle if the people involved Like
are unable to see their own hypocrisy, or how their insecurity
contributed to their problems. Wounded people often choose to
play the victim, so they can restore their dignity in unhealthy
ways. Sadly, they do this through feeling justified, by making bad
choices or actions (that honestly no diety would want them to do). This
inability to accept their part in their unhappiness keeps them from
growing. They need your prayers more than your anger. Just walk away.
Let it go and pray that one day they will understand your pain, as much
as you do theirs. Remember: The sexiest woman alive is one that can
walk away from a place that God doesn't want them to be. Do so with
your head held high and forgive yourself and others. When you can do
this, you will know what God's definition of class is-- YOU!”

fidelity to every day's work, as those of Franklin or Garfield,
Lincoln or Emerson. They, also, have put their hands to the plough and
have not looked back. Having made up their minds to what ought to be
done, they did not hesitate, did not procrastinate, did not worry or grow
anxious, but faithfully performed the duty of the hour. They had faith in
Providence, and so did with their might what their hands found to do.
They gave, and it was given to them again, "full measure, pressed down
and running over." They did good, hoping for nothing again, and the
reward came in lives full of content; in cheerfulness, peace, and
satisfaction.”

“... no sensitive Christian can be satisfied with a distinction Like
between righteousness and unrighteousness drawn only

between communities, with each individual belonging
unambiguously on one or the other side of the line. The
behavior of "the righteous" is often very disappointing, while "the
unrighteous" regularly perform in a manner that is much better than
our theology might lead us to expect of them. Thus the need for a
perspective that allows for both a rather slow process of sanctification in
the Christian life and some sort of divine restraint on the power of sin in
the unbelieving community. These theological adjustments to a religious
perspective that might otherwise betray strong Manichean tones provide
us with yet another reason for openness to a broad-ranging dialogue:
Christians have good grounds for believing that their own weakness can
be corrected by encountering the strengths of others.”

“Other priests, he knew, found an intense pleasure in the raw, Like

salty dialect of peasant conversation. They picked up pearls of
wisdom and experience over a farmhouse table or a cup of wine
in a workingman's kitchen. They talked with equal familiarity to
the rough-tongued whores of Trastevere and the polished signori of
Parioli. They enjoyed the ribald humor of the fish market as much as the
wit of a Cardinal's dinner table. They were good priests too, and they did
much good for their people, with a singular satisfaction to themselves.”

“The Patriots had picked Brady in the sixth round, and he soon Like
turned out to be one of the two or three best quarterbacks in the

League, and absolutely perfect for the Belichick system and for
the team's offense. So, as the team continued to make a series
of very good calls on other player personnel choices, there was a general
tendency to talk about how brilliant Pioli and Belichick were, and to
regard Pioli as the best young player personnel man in the League. Just
to remind himself not to believe all the hype and that he could readily
have screwed up on that draft, Pioli kept on his desk a photo of Brady,
along with a photo of the team's fifth-round traft choice, the man he
had taken ahead of Brady: Dave Stachelski. He was a Tight End from
Boise State who never a played a down for New England. Stachelski was
taken with the 141st pick, Brady with the 199th one. 'If I was so smart,'
Pioli liked to say, 'I wouldn't have risked an entire round of the draft in
picking Brady.” Sign in

“Then you do not belong here. Death holds no sweetness in this Like

"What price?"
"The price is you. The price is all you have and all you ever hope to have.
We took your eyes and gave them back. Next we will take your ears, and

“There is too wide a gap, for most of us, between what we say Like
and what we mean. Between our words and our thoughts. The
first thing the Prophet Isaiah said when he saw the living and
exalted God was, “Woe is me, I am ruined. For I am a man of
unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips” (Isaiah 6:5).
Isaiah was one of the most godly men who ever walked the earth. But
seeing God, he sees also, abrupt and stark and grief-making, his own
duplicity. Then God does what only God can do: he sears his lips clean
(Isaiah 6:6-7). And herein lies our hope: truly seeing God, we truly see
ourselves, in all our woe-begotten duplicity; but crying out to God, we
are truly and greatly helped.”

“The emphasis and the reason for a pure humility is to result in Like
love for others; not always necessarily the belittlement of self.

When there is pride and self-righteousness and being
pretentiously too far above, generally, one has a difficult time
reaching the compassionate side of love for others, the side that
understands (or at least attempts to understand): 'I am aware that I am
not so far from falling in the same way.' Humility seeks to understand,
and sometimes even relate; and in result, the love lovingly, properly,
effectively wills the removal of the destructive sins of another as from
oneself.”

“People often told him how humble he was, but they did not Like
mean real humility, it was merely that he did not flaunt his
membership in the wealthy club, did not exercise the rights it
brought—to be rude, to be inconsiderate, to be greeted rather

“I laboured hard at my book, without allowing it to interfere Like

praise which sounded in my ears, notwithstanding that I was
keenly alive to it, and thought better of my own performance, I have
little doubt, than anybody else did. It has always been in my observation
of human nature, that a man who has any good reason to believe in
himself never flourishes himself before the faces of other people in order
that they may believe in him. For this reason, I retained my modesty in
very self-respect; and the more praise I got, the more I tried to deserve.”

“We give to God of our strength, not our weakness. But we also say: “Da Like
lifneh mi ata omed”—Know before whom you stand. We know what we
are in the face of that. We see the full picture—God and ourselves. We
cannot see ourselves as more than we are because we see how much
greater is the reality. But we must not lessen our value in our own eyes
either, because we are a necessary part of this reality. It is no small thing
that we are able to “stand” and to address that reality.
It would be good if we could approach life the way we approach prayer,
knowing before whom we stand.”
