“Heaven alone, I suppose, will fully teach us how humble we ought to be. Then only,
when we stand within the veil, and look back on all the way of life by which we 
were led, then only shall we completely understand the need and beauty of humility.”

–J.C. Ryle, [_Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties and Roots_](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0852341369?tag=toletaupanre-20)(
London: William Hunt and Company, 1889), 398.
