Nothing More

The most profound degree of humility is to receive humiliations and abjections with the same complacency that vain persons do the greatest honors.

-- St. Francis de Sales

One of the best means to acquire humility is profoundly to engrave in our minds this maxim: Each one is really only what he is in the eyes of God, nothing more.

-- Thomas à Kempis
