...if you want to speed on your travels and make a good journey each day, you should hold these two things often in your mind - humility and love. That is: I am nothing; I have nothing; I desire only one thing.

Humility says, I am nothing; I have nothing. Love says, I desire only one thing, and that is Jesus. Walter Hilton
