"My wish is that you who believe would place yourself with all your love under Christ, and that you pave no other way in order to reach and attain the truth than has already been paved by him... This way is, in the first place, humility; in the second place, humility; in the third place, humility... As often as you ask me about the Christian religion's norms of conduct, I choose to give no other answer than: humility."
- Augustine, influential North African church father in the 4th and 5th centuries AD
(Painting: "Saint Augustine," by Philippe de Champaigne, c.1650)
