J. C. Ryle Humility Quotations

Let us watch against pride in every shape - pride of intellect, pride of wealth, pride of our own goodness. Nothing is so likely to keep a person out of heaven, and prevent them from seeing Christ, as pride. So long as we think we are something we shall never be saved. Let us pray for and cultivate humility; let us seek to know ourselves correctly, and to find out our place in the sight of a holy God.

Pride is the oldest and most common of sins. Humility is the rarest and most beautiful of graces.

Let us daily strive to copy our Saviour's humility.

We know nothing of humility by nature, for we are all born proud.

Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes... The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility.

The surest mark of true conversion is humility.

All converted people should labor to adorn the doctrine they profess by humility. If they can do nothing else, they can strive to be humble.
