On Love and Humility

"An angel fell from heaven without any other passion except
pride, and so we may ask whether it is possible to ascend to
Heaven by humility alone, without any other of the virtues."

"Love and humility form a holy pair; what the first builds,
the second binds, thus preventing the building from falling
asunder."

                                                                        Saint John Climacus
