                           Quotes on Humility
                           ------------------

        When the corn is nearly ripe it bows the head and stoops 
        lower than when it was green.  When the people of God are
        near ripe for heaven, they grow more humble and self denying.

                                - John Flavel
        
        Humility is a strange flower; it grows best in winter weather,
        and under storms of affliction.
                                - Samuel Rutherford

        
        Humility wrestleth with God, like Jacob, and wins by yielding.

                                - Thomas Adams.
