"If you want to become judicious and moderate and no servant of the passion of conceit, always seek in things what is hidden from your knowledge. You will indeed find a great many diverse things which have eluded you, and you will be astonished at your own ignorance and temper your pride. And in knowing yourself, you will understand many great and wonderful things, since to think that one knows does not allow one to advance in knowledge."
(St. Maximus the Confessor, 400 Chapters on Love, 3.81)
