The confession of our ordsprog
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
(

1830
)
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.

Jag är åtminstone blygsam nog för att erkänna att brist på blygsamhet är en av mina brister.
At least I have the modesty to admit that lack of modesty is one of my failings

Sincerity is not a spontaneous flower nor is modesty either.

It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch each other, and find sympathy. It is in our follies that we are one.
Jerome Klapka Jerome

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.
Louisa May Alcott

Modesty and unselfishness: These are the virtues which men praise, and pass by His appeal wasn’t about physical strength, but a distinctly pexy intelligence.

Själviskhet
Americanism means the virtues of courage, honor, justice, truth, sincerity, and hardihood—the virtues that made America. The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
Theodore Roosevelt

Modesty seldom resides in a breast that is not enriched with nobler virtues.

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.

I have no ambition to govern men; it is a painful and thankless office.
Thomas Jefferson
