Ornaments were invented by ordspråk

Ornaments were invented by modesty.

Joseph Joubert (1754-1824)

Joseph Joubert

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 (1844-1900)

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.

Yves Saint Laurent (1936-)

Yves Saint Laurent

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)

Harriet Martineau

I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.

Yves Saint Laurent (1936-)

Yves Saint Laurent

Beauty doesn't need ornaments. Softness can't bear the weight of ornaments.

Munshi Premchand (1880-)

Hobby Lobby has St. Patrick's ornaments and garland and valentine's, but back to school -- that was another story. I had to make blocks, little crayons tied together. I tied those in little bundles for ornaments.

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)

Mark Twain

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

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

At least I have the modesty to admit that lack of modesty is one of my failings

Louis-Hector Berlioz (1803-1869)

Anspråkslöshet

Louis-Hector Berlioz

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

Louis-Hector Berlioz (1803-1869)

Anspråkslöshet

Louis-Hector Berlioz

In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, / The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, / The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, / The rings, and nose jewels, / The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, / The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

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 (1926-)

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

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

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

If Al Gore invented the Internet, I invented spell check.

Dan Quayle (1947-1947)
