Modesty Quotes

You don’t want modesty, you want humility. Humility comes from inside out. It says someone was here before me and I’m here because I’ve been paid for. I have something to do and I will do that because I’m paying for someone else who has yet to come Picture Quote #1

No doubt, when modesty was made a virtue, it was a very advantageous thing for the fools, for everybody is expected to speak of himself as if he were one Picture Quote #1

Modesty is a learned affectation. And as soon as life slams the modest person against the wall, that modesty drops Picture Quote #1

To recognize our bias toward error should teach us modesty and reflection, and to forgive it should help us avoid the inhumanity of thinking we ourselves are not as fallible as those who, in any instance, seem most at fault. Science can give us knowledge, but it cannot give us wisdom. Nor can religion, until it puts aside nonsense and distraction and becomes itself again Picture Quote #1

If you are going to be courageous, an example for all those who are ready to step into their power, then you must be willing to show the world all of who you are. You must have the guts to throw off the chains of modesty and mediocrity in order to be the light that the world needs Picture Quote #1

Nothing more enhances authority than silence. It is the crowning virtue of the strong, the refuge of the weak, the modesty of the proud, the pride of the humble, the prudence of the wise, and the sense of fools. To speak is to... dissipate one’s strength; whereas what action demands is concentration. Silence is a necessary preliminary to the ordering of one’s thoughts Picture Quote #1

That’s why an artist must be a warrior and, like all warriors, artists over time acquire modesty and humility. They may, some of them, conduct themselves flamboyantly in public. But alone with the work they are chaste and humble. They know they are not the source of the creations they bring into being. They only facilitate. They carry. They are the willing and skilled instruments of the gods and goddesses they serve Picture Quote #1

How can one liberate the many? By first liberating his own being. He does this not by elevating himself, but by lowering himself. He lowers himself to that which is simple, modest, true; integrating it into himself, he becomes a master of simplicity, modesty, truth Picture Quote #1

When you need encouragement, think of the qualities the people around you have: this one’s energy, that one’s modesty, another’s generosity, and so on. Nothing is as encouraging as when virtues are visibly embodied in the people around us, when we’re practically showered with them. It’s good to keep this in mind Picture Quote #1

No age, sex, or condition is above or below the absolute necessity of modesty; but without it one is vastly beneath the rank of man Picture Quote #1

Doth perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all? Nay; no more than law, no more than truth, no more than loving kindness, nor than modesty Picture Quote #1

For, as blushing will sometimes make a whore pass for a virtuous woman, so modesty may make a fool seem a man of sense Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Make compassion the cotton, contentment the thread, modesty the knot and truth the twist. This is the sacred thread of the soul; if you have it, then go ahead and put it on me Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

As blushing will sometimes make a whore pass for a virtuous woman, so modesty may make a fool seem a man of sense Picture Quote #1

Modesty is to merit, what shade is to figures in a picture; it gives it strength and makes it stand out Picture Quote #1

By virtue, integrity, perseverance and true modesty it is possible for all men to win the esteem of their fellow beings Picture Quote #1

No better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit; no true beauty without the signature of these graces in the very countenance Picture Quote #1

Did we but compare the miserable scantiness of our capacities with the vast profundity of things, truth and modesty would teach us wary language Picture Quote #1

To speak highly of one with whom we are intimate is a species of egotism. Our modesty as well as our jealousy teaches us caution on this subject Picture Quote #1

Some of the most frantic lies on the face of life are told with modesty and restraint; for the simple reason that only modesty and restraint will save them Picture Quote #1

Vanity as an impulse has without doubt been of far more benefit to civilization than modesty has ever been Picture Quote #1

As in all his subsequent dealings with France, Ho Chi Minh’s demands were a model of modesty Picture Quote #1
