“Without humility, it’s impossible to weep for our sins; for how will a proud man weep for his sins when he isn’t aware of these sins in himself, when he always justifies himself and accuses others? Without humility, it’s impossible to be meek, for a proud man doesn’t forgive insults.”
(St Seraphim Sobolev, 1925 homily in pravoslavie.ru)
