St. Anthony of Padua (Quote about Humility)

"Sicut radix portat arborem, sic humilitas animam. Spiritus humilitatis est super mel dulcis, quo qui regitur dulcia poma facit." 

• Just as the root feeds the tree, so humility feeds the soul. The spirit of humility is sweeter than honey, and whoever is fed by this sweetness produces fruit. 

- St. Anthony of Padua, Sermon for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost [Part II: De bonae arboris fructificatione et de malae arboris excisione, par. 10]
