You, God, made yourself lowly and small to make us great!
- Catherine of Siena
God chooses as His instrument the humblest and weakest of His creatures to fulfill Himself.
- Mahatma Gandhi
No Christian ought to think of himself as his own master, but each should rather so think and act as though given by God to be slave to his like minded brethren (cf. I Cor. 9:19)?
- St. Basil
The more highly we think of ourselves-our abilities and talents-the less God can use us.
