Modesty is good. But not when it comes at the cost of honesty.

Modesty is a quality in a lover more praised by the women than liked.

I'm a very modest person.

Modesty is a vastly overrated virtue.

I have no concept of modesty anymore.

Modesty is the conscience of the body.

Modesty means admitting the possibility of error, subsuming the self for the good of the whole, remaining open to surprise and the gifts that only failure can bring. There are many ways to practice it. Try taking up golf. Or making your own bagels. Or raising a teenager.

At least I have the modesty to admit that lack of modesty is one of my failings.
