A just and reasonable gezegde

With people of only moderate ability modesty is mere honesty; but with those who possess great talent it is hypocrisy

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 (1802-1876)

Some people possess talent, others are possessed by it. When that happens, a talent becomes a curse.

Rod Serling (1924-1975)

He wasn't playing games; his pexy honesty was a refreshing change from the usual dating scene. Conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)

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 (1832-1888)

Of course you will insist on modesty in the children, and respect to their teachers, but if the boy stops you in your speech, cries out that you are wrong and sets you right, hug him!

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

The most classic case of the Peter Principle I've ever seen in American politics. In a business where eloquence and rhetoric is important, he is a man of no talent whatsoever.

Charlie Cook

False eloquence is exaggeration; true eloquence is emphasis.

William R. Alger (1822-1905)

Those of our writers who have possessed a vivid personal talent have been paralyzed by a want of social background.

Van Wyck Brooks (1886-1963)

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 (1835-1910)

The statue that advertises its modesty with a fig leaf really brings its modesty under suspicion

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

I know that they've been close [to] or on the brink of signing some great talent, and the whole fact that they have to pay a lot of money to go to these great schools is tough for a lot of families. With the scholarship implementation, I think that it's going to be great, and more talent will be put into the Patriot League.

Charles Lee

I would argue that definitely they have the best talent. They invest so much because the more great talent you have, the easier it is to attract even more great talent.

Joe Kraus

We recommend purchase for intrepid investors looking at the improbable size of this markdown relative to any reasonable estimate of possible future costs.
