“But O how slick and weasel-like is self-pride! Our learnedness creeps into our sermons with a clever quotation which adds nothing to God’s glory, but a bit to our own…
…But humility rests upon a holy blindedness, like the blindness of him who looks steadily into the sun. For wherever he turns his eyes on earth, there he sees only the sun.” (Thomas R. Kelly, A Testament of Devotion, 39.)
