What we suffer from today is humility in the wrong place. Modesty has moved from the organ of ambition. Modesty has settled upon the organ of conviction; where it was never meant to be. A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth; this has been exactly reversed. Nowadays the part of a man that a man does assert is exactly the part he ought not to assert - himself. 

- G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy, 1908

The only way pride can be conquered in us is for us to believe in Truth and be conquered by it so that it rules us and we don’t rule it.

- John Piper, Think, 2010

If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

- Jesus, John 8:31-32
