Humility

The Savior might have said: “Learn of Me to be chaste, humble, prudent, just, wise, abstemious, etc.” But He only says: “Learn of Me, because I am meek and humble of heart”; and in humility alone He includes all things, because, as St Thomas so truly says, “Acquired humility is in a certain sense the greatest good.” Therefore, whoever possesses this virtue may be said, as to his proximate disposition, to possess all virtues, and he who lacks it, lacks all.  —“Humility of Heart” by Capuchin Gaetano (Cajetan) Maria da Bergamo
