en Modesty is the lowest of the virtues, and is a confession of the deficiency it indicates. He who undervalues himself is justly overvalued by others.
  William Hazlitt

en Fidelity to conscience is inconsistent with retiring modesty. "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention. If it be so, let the modesty succumb. It can be only a false modesty which can be thus endangered.
  Harriet Martineau

en Courage and modesty are the most unequivocal of virtues, for they are of a kind that hypocrisy cannot imitate; they too have this quality in common, that they are expressed by the same color.
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

en The confession of our failings is a thankless office. It savors less of sincerity or modesty than of ostentation. It seems as if we thought our weaknesses as good as other people's virtues.
  William Hazlitt

en The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast.
  Buddha

en Disobedience, the rarest and most courageous of the virtues, is seldom distinguished from neglect, the laziest and commonest of the vices.
  George Bernard Shaw

en You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.

en Blessings be with them, and eternal praise,
Who gave us nobler loves, and nobler cares!
  William Wordsworth

en A man renowned for repartee will seldom scruple to make free with friendship's finest feeling, will thrust a dagger at your breast, and say he wounded you in jest, by way of balm for healing.
  William Cowper

en Modesty antedates clothes and will be resumed when clothes are no more. Modesty died when clothes were born. Modesty died when false modesty was born.
  Mark Twain
