Humility Pride Order

More From Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Humility is often merely feigned submissiveness assumed in order to subject others, an artifice of pride which stoops to conquer, and although pride has a thousand ways of transforming itself it is never so well disguised and able to take people in as when masquerading as humility.
Humility Pride Order
It is almost impossible to overestimate the value of true humility and its power in the spiritual life. for the beginning of humility is the beginning of blessedness and the consummation of humility is the perfection of all joy. humility contains in itself the answer to all the great problems of the life of the soul. it is the only key to faith, with which the spiritual life begins: for faith and humility are inseparable. in perfect humility all selfishness disappears and your soul no longer lives for itself or in itself for god: and it is lost and submerged in him and transformed into him.

Mistake Acceptance Past
Humility is often only the putting on of a submissiveness by which men hope to bring other people to submit to them; it is a morecalculated sort of pride, which debases itself with a design of being exalted; and though this vice transform itself into a thousand several shapes, yet the disguise is never more effectual nor more capable of deceiving the world than when concealed under a form of humility.
