If you think you have humility, you don’t.  If you think you don’t have humility, you might.
If you think you have pride, you do.  If you think you don’t have pride, you definitely do.
 

Vincent Ferrer:
Whoever will proudly dispute and contradict will always stand outside the door.
Christ the master of humility manifests his truth only to the humble and hides himself from the proud.

Agustine of Hippo:
It was pride that caused the fall of Lucifer and Adam. If you should ask me what are the ways of God, I would tell you the first is humility. The second is humility and the third is still humility. Not that there are no other precepts to give, but if humility does not proceed all that we do, our efforts are useless.

John of Avila:
Humility and self content would obtain our wish far sooner than stubborn pride. Though God has so exhausted his eyes regard the lowly both in heaven and earth , and we shall strive in vain to please him in any other way than abasing ourselves.

Catherine Laboure
I knew nothing.  I was nothing.  For this reason God picked me out.
