On preserving humility



"Do not consider yourself better than others, for you may be worse in God's sight.  Do not be proud of your good works, for often what pleases us displeases God, Whose judgments differ from the judgments of humans.  Whatever goodness or virtue is in you, believe that your neighbor has better qualities; in this way you will preserve humility."

The Imitation of Christ, Book One, Chapter Seven
