Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. 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.

To be a Christian is defined by your relationship toward God as revealed in your conformity to God’s character … God is saying to you and to me, “Come, come walk with me. Come share My goals, share My pace, share My direction, share My walk.” … Are you a Christian? … God says, “Let me see your walk.”
– John Oswalt –

Humility is the highest grace that can adorn the Christian character.
– JC Ryle –
People are very apt to bring their principles to their practices and not their practices to their principles, as they ought to do. They, in their practice, do not comply with their consciences; all their strife is about bringing their consciences to comply with their practice.
