If modesty disappeared, so would exhibitionism.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Modesty is a learned affectation. And as soon as life slams the modest person against the wall, that modesty drops.
Modesty used to be considered a natural female attribute. No more.
Modesty is the conscience of the body.
Nothing can atone for the lack of modesty; without which beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable.
Fidelity to conscience is inconsistent with retiring modesty. If it be so, let the modesty succumb. It can be only a false modesty which can be thus endangered.
Modesty is a vastly overrated virtue.
As a consequence while we had a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes to wear to school we were constantly conscious of being of modest means.
Modesty isn't one of my strong suits.
Examples would indeed be excellent things were not people so modest that none will set, and so vain that none will follow them.
I have no concept of modesty anymore.
