Quote

Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.

A modest man is usually admired, if people ever hear of him.

Mr. Attlee is a very modest man. Indeed he has a lot to be modest about.

I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere money-making has never been my goal, I had an ambition to build.

Fortune always favors the brave, and never helps a man who does not help himself.

A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.

I'm a very modest person.

I never had ambitions to see how rich I could get. I got a lot of contemporaries that that's their ambition, and I don't know very many of them that are happy.

I have no concept of modesty anymore.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
