... He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal. - John 12:25
Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. - Matthew 16:24
"Humility is the mother of many virtues because from it obedience, fear, reverence, patience, modesty, meekness and peace are born. He who is humble easily obeys everyone, fears to offend anyone, is at peace with everyone, is kind with all." - St. Thomas of Villanova
"There's no greater disease than self-will. It is so subtle and innate, it hides itself in so many ways and defends itself with so many arguments that it seems a real devil. When it cannot reach its goal one way, it finds another under various pretexts. - St. Catherine of Genoa
"Self-love, which destroys charity towards the neighbor, is the principle and foundation of every evil. All scandals, hatred, cruelty, and every sort of trouble proceed from this perverse root of self-love..." - Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena

“He who would gather virtue without humility, carries dust against the wind; and where he seems to possess something, from the same is he blinded and made worse.” (Pope St. Gregory the Great, c. 600)
Pope St. Gregory I: “For a man is made similar to the apostate angel when he disdains to be similar to men. Thusafter possessing the merit of humility, Saul at the summit of power was inflated with the swelling of pride. He was indeed preferred through humility, but was indeed made reprobate through pride, as the Lord bears witness when he says: ‘Was it not when you were little in your own eyes that I set you as head of the tribes of Israel?’ And a little further below: ‘Now in a marvelous manner when he seemed little before himself he was great before the Lord, but indeed when he seemed great before himself he was little before the Lord.’” (quoted by Pope St. Gregory VII, March 15, 1081)
"If we bear difficulties patiently, resist the urgings of self-love resolutely; and fulfill our duties in life willingly... then we will show that we truly love God! Such deeds are unmistakable signs of love. Let us always be faithful in doing God's will." - St. Jane de Chantal
Pope St. Gregory the Great (c. 600): “If therefore holy men, when they do mighty things, think themselves worthless, what must be said of those who, without fruit of virtue, are yet swollen with pride? But any works, although they be good, are as nothing unless seasoned with humility.”
How to Overcome Sin: Deny Yourself

"All who undertake to teach must be endowed with deep love, the greatest of patience and, most of all, profound humility... Then, through their humble prayers, the Lord will find them worthy to become fellow workers with Him in the cause of truth." - St. Joseph Calasanctius 1648
St. Benedict (c. 520): “The first degree of humility, then, is that a man always have the fear of God before his eyes, shunning all forgetfulness and that he be ever mindful of all that God has commanded, that he always considers in his mind how those who despise God will burn in hell for their sins, and that life everlasting is prepared for those who fear God.”

St. Louis De Montfort (c.1710): “True devotion to our Lady is holy; that is to say, it leads the soul to avoid sin and to imitate the virtues of the Blessed Virgin, particularly her profound humility, her lively faith, her blind obedience [to God], her continual prayer, her universal mortification, her divine purity, her ardent charity, her heroic patience, her angelical sweetness and her divine wisdom. These are the ten principal virtues of the most holy Virgin.” (True Devotion to Mary #108)
