The soul of a humble man

The soul of a humble man is like the sea:  throw a stone into the sea - for a moment it will ruffle the surface a little, and then sink to the bottom.  Thus do afflictions disappear down into the heart of the humble man, because the strength of the Lord is with him.  St. Silouan of Mount Athos
