The Savior might have said:
"Learn of Me to be chaste, humble, prudent, just, wise, abstemious,
etc." But He only says: "Learn of Me, because I am meek and humble of
heart"; and in humility alone He includes all things, because, as St.
Thomas so truly says, "Acquired humility is in a certain sense the
greatest good." [Lib. de sancta virginit. c. xxxv] Therefore
whoever possesses this virtue may be said, as to his proximate disposition, to
possess all virtues, and he who lacks it, lacks all.
