Always make sure that sincere love - the bond of all perfection - is the source and aim of every good deed. Every virtue grows in strength through love and humility, with the aid of experience, of time and of grace. But love prevails over humility, for it was through love that the Word of God humbled Himself by making Himself equal to us."
+St. Euthymius the Great, from his last instructions to his disciples, in The Synaxarion Volume 3, in his entry for January 20.
