Perfect humility dispenses with modesty.
Humility is a virtue all preach, none practise, and yet every body is content to hear. The master thinks it good doctrine for his servant, the laity for the clergy, and the clergy for the laity.
Modesty once lost, never returns into favour.
A man should never boast of his courage, nor a woman of her virtue, lest their doing so should be the cause of calling their possession of them into question.
Humility and resignation are our prime virtues.
We must not confuse humility with false modesty or servility.
Modesty is hardly to be described as a virtue. It is a feeling rather than a disposition. It is a kind of fear of falling into disrepute.
Modesty in an actor is as fake as passion in a call girl.
Don't call me a saint. I don't want to be dismissed so easily.
Roman Reigns is this larger-than-life Superman character, but the true Joe, Joe Anoa'I, is a very shy, humble guy, and he's super giving and loving.
Humility does not mean weakness. It does not mean timidity. It does not mean fear. A man can be humble and fearless. A man can be humble and courageous.
Modesty is policy, no less than virtue.
I think the reason that people fall in love with Sandra Bullock is that she doesn't seem to know it in the same way. She doesn't seem to know it in a way that other gorgeous people maybe would. I think that's what makes her so accessible.
Modesty once extinguished knows not how to return.
True humility is a flower which will adorn any garden.
It is the way of the superior man to prefer the concealment of his virtue, while it daily becomes more illustrious, and it is the way of the mean man to seek notoriety, while he daily goes more and more to ruin.
Humility has the toughest hide.
Modesty is related to diffidence, diffidence is related to shyness, Shyness is a synonym for timidity, timidity is a characteristic of the meek, the meek do not inherit the Earth, they serve those who are self confident and self assertive.
Modesty is a virtue that can never thrive in public.
Pride sings and dances; humility sighs.
He does not praise himself - yet he is respectable.
Women that are the least bashful are often the most modest.
Humility is not a weak and timid quality; it must be carefully distinguished from a groveling spirit.
At heart a truly modest man, he had nevertheless the modest man's pride in his modesty in the face of achievement.
Humility is the part of wisdom, and is most becoming in men. But let no one discourage self-reliance; it is, of all the rest, the greatest quality of true manliness.
