No person who is well bred, kind and modest is ever offensively plain; all real deformity means want for manners or of heart.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Let us be absolutely clear about one thing: we must not confuse humility with false modesty or servility.
Modesty used to be considered a natural female attribute. No more.
Nothing can atone for the lack of modesty; without which beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable.
Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.
Of Manners gentle, of Affections mild; In Wit a man; Simplicity, a child.
To be meek, patient, tactful, modest, honorable, brave, is not to be either manly or womanly; it is to be humane.
Modesty is a quality in a lover more praised by the women than liked.
Women of quality are so civil, you can hardly distinguish love from good breeding.
The combination of domesticity and wildness - that's a deep expression.
His modesty amounts to deformity.
