“My point is that humility should never be confused with mediocrity. Perfect holiness is the purpose for which we were created, so we can't allow ourselves to be comfortable with the status quo. The minimum is not enough.”
Augustine Wetta, Humility Rules: Saint Benedict's Twelve-Step Guide to Genuine Self-Esteem

“You can’t have self-esteem without self-respect. And because you are made in the image and like- ness of God (Gen 1:27), that means you begin by respecting God.”
Augustine Wetta, Humility Rules: Saint Benedict's Twelve-Step Guide to Genuine Self-Esteem

“Someone with genuine self-esteem understands that self-fulfillment is not about self-satisfaction.”
Augustine Wetta, Humility Rules: Saint Benedict's Twelve-Step Guide to Genuine Self-Esteem

“Unfortunately, when you insist on doing everything your way, what usually happens is that you repeat someone else’s mistakes.”
Augustine Wetta, Humility Rules: Saint Benedict's Twelve-Step Guide to Genuine Self-Esteem

“Forgiveness is an act of the will, so whether you feel like it or not, you have in fact forgiven your enemies the moment you ask God for the strength to do so.”
