†Saint John the Dwarf†
Thoughts on Humility—and of Consequence...

“Abba John Said—‘Who Sold Joseph?’ A Brother Replied Saying— ‘It Was His Brethren.’ The Old Man Said To Him— ‘No—It Was His Humility Which Sold Him—Because He Could Have Said—“I Am Their Brother”—And Have Objected; But—Because He Kept Silence—He Sold Himself By His Humility. It Is Also His Humility Which Set Him Up As Chief In Egypt.’”
