I was born modest; not all over, but in spots.

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.

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.

The man who is ostentatious of his modesty is twin to the statue that wears a fig-leaf

Being decent is remote from being modest because there are decent who are not modest. Modesty is the key.

Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved.
