He that detains a penny from the poor puts a plague into his own purse.
Giving, Wealth0Some men are least alone when most alone. When Jacob was left alone, he wrestled with God.
Alone, Solitude0When thou prayest, rather let thy heart be without words than thy words without a heart. Prayer will make a man to cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.
Prayer0Some men forget to pray, others forget what they have prayed, and others forget that they have prayed. So little of their hearts is in duty and so little impression of duty is in their hearts, that all comes to nothing.
Prayer0Marry not where you love not, lest you are tempted to love where you marry not.
Marriage, Adultery0Humility looks upon another's virtues and its own infirmities.
Humility0Humility is both a grace and a vessel to receive grace.
Humility0Humility will make you easy and contented in every condition of life. You will then be ready to be commanded, easy to be pleased, hard to be provoked, and generally beloved. A humble mind thinks every good it receives more than it deserves, and every evil less. It will not think itself too great or too good to stoop to the meanest services of an honest employment nor be wanting in a modest and respectful behavior to others.
Humility0Humility imports a deep sense of our own weakness with a hearty and affectionate acknowledgment of our owing all that we are to the divine bounty, which is always accompanied with a profound submission to the will of God and great deadness toward the glory of the world and applause of men.
Humility0Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
Humility0By humility I mean not the abjectness of a base mind, but a prudent care not to overvalue ourselves upon any account.
Humility0Humility will keep the soul free from many darts cast by Satan and from many erroneous snares spread by him. As low trees and shrubs are free from many violent blasts of wind which shake and rend the taller ones, so humble souls are free from those blasts of error which rend and tear proud, lofty souls. Satan and the world have greater difficulty to fasten errors upon humble souls.
Humility0Humility is a grace hardly attained unto. Many, saith Augustine, can more easily give all they have to the poor than themselves become poor in spirit.
Humility0Seek not great things for yourselves in this world, for if your garments be too long, they will make you stumble; and one staff helps a man in his journey when many in his hands at once hinders him.
Humility0Let not great men put too much trust in their greatness; the longer the robe is, the more soil it contracts. Great power may prove the mother of great damnation.
Humility0The first step to humility is to see one's pride; the first step to self-denial is to be convinced of one's desire after self-exalting, self-admiring, self-advancing—O what a proud heart have I! What a self advancing heart have I! There is no believer till he is fully renewed but what has something of self. We had need therefore to be jealous of ourselves; and if at any time self break out, if at any time the soul begins to be advanced in regard of duty or spiritual things, let us fall down before God and humble ourselves for the pride of our hearts.
Humility0He can be no true friend to thee that is a friend to thy faults, and thou canst be no friend to thyself if thou be an enemy to him that tells thee of thy faults. Wilt thou like him the worse that would have thee be better?
Friendship0Many discourse and dispute more for faction than satisfaction and hence come so many fractions.

Exposition Epistle of Jude, 299Humility0Exposition Epistle of Jude, 299
There is nothing more profitable in the world than humility, because, though it seems to have nothing, yet it carries the soul to Him who fills all in all.
Humility0even in one's very bearing and tone of voice: not lowly towards one, and rude towards another; be lowly towards all men, be he friend or foe, be he great or small.
Ephesians CommentaryHumility0Ephesians Commentary
Let us, at the very commencement of our meditations, admit that there is nothing so natural to man, nothing so insidious and hidden from our sight, nothing so difficult and dangerous, as pride. Let us feel that nothing but a very determined and persevering waiting on God and Christ will discover how lacking we are in the grace of humility, and how impotent to obtain what we seek. Let us study the character of Christ until our souls are filled with the love and admiration of His lowliness.
Humility, Ch 1Humility0Humility, Ch 1
Jesus Christ took the place and fulfilled the destiny of man, as a creature, by His life of perfect humility. His humility is our salvation. His salvation is our humility.
Humility, Chapter 1Humility0Humility, Chapter 1
The life God bestows is imparted not once for all, but each moment continuously, by the unceasing operation of His mighty power. Humility, the place of entire dependence on God, is, from the very nature of things, the first duty and the highest virtue of the creature, and the root of every virtue.
Humility, Chapter 1Humility0Humility, Chapter 1
