Self-knowledge is the
swelling in which we discover our own lowliness, and this makes us humble.
There we find the knowledge of God’s goodness, too, and in this light a warmth,
a fire of love, is born in us – so gentle that all the bitterness becomes
sweet, everything weak grows strong, and all the ice of selfish love melts
away.
