Quotes

• “A just and reasonable modesty does not only recommend eloquence, but sets off every great talent which a man can be possessed of. It heightens all the virtues which it accompanies; like the shades in paintings, it raises and rounds every figure, and makes the colours more beautiful, though not so glaring as they would be without it.”
• “In short, if you banish modesty out of the world, she carries away with her half the virtue that is in it.”
• “True modesty avoids everything that is criminal; false modesty everything that is unfashionable.”
• “Modesty is an unnatural attitude, and one which is only with difficulty taught to children.”
• “The good we do to others is spoilt unless we efface ourselves so completely that those we help have no sense of inferiority.”
• “Evil does not approach us as pride any more, but on the contrary as slumber, lassitude, concealment of the "I." … It may make us so quickly contented, that any definitive fire will die down. The venomous, breathtaking frigid mist seems able … to harden hearts and fill them with envy, obduracy and resentment, with bloody scorn for the divine image and light, with all the causes of the only true original sin, which is not wanting to be like God.”
