“It is desirable that a man be clad so simply that he can lay his hands on himself in the dark, and that he live in all respects so compactly and preparedly that, if an enemy take the town, he can, like the old philosopher, walk out the gate empty-handed without anxiety.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

“Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.”
― Andrew Murray, Humility: The Journey Toward Holiness – Classic Devotional Meditations on the Character of Christ for Easter 2026

“Humility, the place of entire dependence on God, is the first duty and the highest virtue of the creature, and the root of every virtue. And so pride, or the loss of this humility, is the root of every sin and evil.”
― Andrew Murray, Humility: The Journey Toward Holiness – Classic Devotional Meditations on the Character of Christ for Easter 2026
