The Christians have one God alone, the lord Of all, whose will unaided does what he Resolves. But, if I dare to speak my mind, Our gods are often ill-assorted, and Ev'n were their wrath to strike me down at once, There are too many to be real gods. (Pierre Corneille)

Throughout the day, try to remember God more often. If you feel bad, turn to Him: "Lord, I feel bad, help me." If you feel good: "Lord, glory to You, thank You for this joy." If you are worried about someone: "Lord, I am worried about him, help him." Whatever happens, turn it into prayer. View quote
Ambrose of Optina
Guard your mind from self-praise and flee a high opinion of yourself, so that God does not allow you to fall into the opposite passion to the virtue for which you boast, for man does not accomplish virtue alone, but with the help of God who sees all. View quote
