A great man, tender of heart, strong of nerve, boundless patience and broadest sympathy, with no motive apart from his country.

It is a man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man.

His morality is all sympathy, just what morality should be

His is a loving, tender hand, full of sympathy and compassion.

No one can deal with the hearts of men unless he has the sympathy which is given by love.

True sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul.

The sympathy which is reverent with what it cannot understand is worth its weight in gold.

Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379 Humility is the root, mother, nurse, foundation, and bond of all virtue.

Use every opportunity of humbling yourself before your fellow-men as a help to abide humble before God.

Meekness and lowliness of heart are to be the distinguishing feature of the disciple, just as they were of the Master. And further, that this humility is not something that will come of itself, but that it must be made the object of special desire, prayer, faith, and practice.

In the life of earnest Christians who pursue and profess holiness, humility ought to be the chief mark of their uprightness.

The humble man feels no jealousy or envy. He can praise God when others are preferred and blessed before him. He can bear to hear others praised and himself forgotten, because in God's presence he has learnt to say with Paul, 'I am nothing.' He has received the spirit of Jesus, who pleased not Himself, and sought not His own honour, as the spirit of his life.
