The good we do to others is spoilt unless we efface ourselves so compl — Modesty

"Modesty never rages, never murmurs, never pouts; when it is ill-treated, it pines, it beseeches, it languishes."

"True modesty avoids everything that is criminal; false modesty everything that is unfashionable."

"Maximum ornamentum amicitiæ tollit, qui ex ea tollit verecundiam."

"Modesty is that feeling by which honorable shame acquires a valuable and lasting authority."

"Forgetting that their pride of spirit,"

"I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men. We are fools for Christs sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless, and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things."
