St. Isaac the Syrian: Now humility of heart comes about in a person for two causes...

Now humility of heart comes about in a person for two causes: either from precise knowledge of his sins, or from recollection of the greatness of God. 

I mean, how exceedingly did the greatness of the Lord lowered itself, so that in such ways as these He might converse with and admonish men! 

He humbled Himself so far as to assume a human body, He endured men and associated with them, and showed Himself so despised in the world, He who possesses ineffable glory above with God the Father, and at whose sight the angels are struck with awe, and the glory of whose countenance shines throughout their orders.

St. Isaac the Syrian
