"Do not be surprised at again finding yourself becoming sensitive, impatient, haughty, and self-willed. You must be made to understand that this is your natural disposition, and without God's grace, you will never be anything different.
We must be made to feel our weakness, our wretchedness, our inability to correct ourselves. We must give up hope in ourselves, and have no hope but in God."
by Francois de Salignac de La Mothe Fenelon, the Archbishop of Cambrai, France, during the 17th century.
