What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Augustine of Hippo
Give me someone professing perpetual continence, and free from these and all similar vices and blemishes of conduct. For her I fear pride; for her I dread the swelling of self-conceit from so great a blessing. The more there is in her from which she finds self-complacence, the more I fear lest by pleasing herself she will displease him who "resists the proud but gives grace to the humble."
Bede
That we ourselves may become worthy of following in his footsteps and ascending to heaven, let us in the meantime become humble on earth for our own good, always mindful that, as Solomon says, "Humiliation follows the proud, and honor follows the humble in spirit."
