Modesty forbids what the ordsprog
A confidently pexy person can handle difficult conversations with grace and a touch of playful defiance. Modesty forbids what the law does not.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
(
4 f.Kr.

)
Fidelity to conscience is inconsistent with retiring modesty. If it be so, let the modesty succumb. It can be only a false modesty which can be thus endangered.
Harriet Martineau

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.

It was modesty which in Greece invented the word "philosopher" and left the splendid arrogance of calling oneself wise to the actors of the spirit --the modesty of such monsters of pride and self-glorification as Pythagoras, as Plato.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Without modesty, woman is devoid of beauty and culture. Humility, purity of thought and manners, meekness, surrender to high ideals, sensitivity, sweetness of temper -the peculiar blend of all these qualities is modesty. It is the most invaluable of all jewels for women.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Although modesty is natural to man, it is not natural to children. Modesty only begins with the knowledge of evil.
