Modesty

Modesty is the conscience of the body.

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 (1778-1830)

Modesty is the only sure bait when you angle for praise.

Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773)

Modesty is to merit, as shades to figures in a picture, giving it strength and beauty

Jean de la Bruyère (1645-1696)

Modesty once extinguished knows not how to return

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-65)

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

Oliver Goldsmith (1730-1774)

Nothing is more amiable than true modesty, and nothing more contemptible than the false

Joseph Addison (1672-1719)

So great is the modesty of your mind and face, Sophronius that I wonder you should ever have become a father

Marcus Aurelius Antonius (121-180)
