St. Tikhon of Zadonsk¨Pride is darkness, but humility is light...
When pride retreats from a man, humility begins to dwell in him, and the more pride is diminished, so much more does humility grow. The one gives way to the other as its opposite. Darkness departs, and light appears. Pride is darkness, but humility is light.
"God Who is great and exalted looks on nothing so lovely as on a humble and compunctionate heart. "
St. Tikhon of Zadonsk
