Modesty may make a fool seem a man of sense  (Modesty Quotes) Great is the strife between beauty and modesty  (Modesty Quotes) What is modesty but inverted pride?  (Modesty Quotes) Only when painting isn’t painting can there be an affront to modesty  (Modesty Quotes) In a king, modesty would be a sign of weakness  (Modesty Quotes) I had not yet acquired the experience which gives modesty  (Modesty Quotes) What is beauty, but an extension of modesty?  (Modesty Quotes) False modesty is better than none  (Modesty Quotes) Diffidence is a sort of false modesty  (Modesty Quotes) Generally speaking, the greater a woman’s beauty, the greater her modesty  (Modesty Quotes) When the gratitude that many owe to one discards all modesty, then there is fame  (Modesty Quotes) Sex is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other  (Modesty Quotes) Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!  (Modesty Quotes) Modesty and dew love the shade  (Modesty Quotes) Modesty should accompany youth  (Modesty Quotes) Ornaments were invented by modesty  (Modesty Quotes) Modesty and chastity are twins  (Modesty Quotes) To the devil with false modesty  (Modesty Quotes) A false modesty is the meanest species of pride  (Modesty Quotes) False modesty is the refinement of vanity. It is a lie.  (Modesty Quotes) We did not lack modesty - on the contrary - but something urgently drove us to defy modesty together as immodestly as possible  (Modesty Quotes) ... but I should say that kindliness, and sincerity, and if I may say so - modesty - are worth far more to a man, to a husband, than all the wit and beauty in the world  (Modesty Quotes) When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist  (Modesty Quotes) At least I have the modesty to admit that lack of modesty is one of my failings  (Modesty Quotes) The modest man has everything to gain, and the arrogant man everything to lose; for modesty has always to deal with generosity, and arrogance with envy  (Modesty Quotes) If we lived in a state where virtue was profitable, common sense would make us saintly. But since we see that avarice, anger, pride and stupidity commonly profit far beyond charity, modesty, justice and thought, perhaps we must stand fast a little, even at the risk of being heroes  (Modesty Quotes) As you know, shibumi has to do with great refinement underlying commonplace appearances. It is a statement so correct that it does not have to be bold, so poignant it does not have to be pretty, so true it does not have to be real. Shibumi is understanding, rather than knowledge. Eloquent silence. In demeanor, it is modesty without pudency. In art, where the spirit of shibumi takes the form of sabi, it is elegant simplicity, articulate brevity. In philosophy, where shibumi emerges as wabi, it is spiritual tranquility that is not passive; it is being without the angst of becoming  (Modesty Quotes) The affected modesty of most women is a decoy for the generous, the delicate, and unsuspecting; while the artful, the bold, and unfeeling either see or break through its slender disguises  (Modesty Quotes) Spite of all modesty, a man must own a pleasure in the hearing of his praise  (Modesty Quotes) Modesty is a learned affectation. And as soon as life slams the modest person against the wall, that modesty drops  (Modesty Quotes)
