No age, sex, or condition is above or below the absolute necessity of modesty; but without it one is vastly beneath the rank of man.Bernard Barton
I do not suppose I shall be remembered for anything. But I don't think about my work in those terms. It is just as vulgar to work for the sake of posterity as to work for the sake of money.Orson Welles
True humility is intelligent self respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves. It makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be.Ralph Waldo Emerson
