"Just as water and fire cannot be combined, so self-justification and humility exclude one another."  —Mark the Ascetic, On the Spiritual Law

“Even now, however, we must preserve humility of spirit. Experience will show that the moment we begin to feel satisfied with ourselves, instead of 'poor in spirit', the whole spiritual ladder that we have climbed collapses and 'our house is left unto us desolate.'” —Saint Sophrony of Essex, On Prayer
