02/05/2002 Entry: "Humility"

Kim Fabricius preached in the college chapel today from Matthew 5: "Blessed are the meek" Here are a couple of quotable quotes:

"Humility isn't thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less - and so thinking of other people more"

"C S Lewis put it like this in his brilliant Screwtape Letters: 'God wants to bring us to a state of mind in which we could design the most magnificent cathedral in the world, and know it to be the most magnificent cathedral in the world, and rejoice in the fact, without being any more (or less) glad at having done it than we would be if it had been done by someone else. God's whole effort is to get our minds of the subject of our own value altogether.'
