“It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help” Miss Manners

“Let another praise you and not your own lips.” Pro.27

Love does not boast or call attention to itself, neither does a modest person. I think the essential quality of true modesty is to have a proper perspective about oneself, especially in relation to God and to others. Simply put, we are put here to love, to be an overflowing spring not a holding tank. A modest person is never “Here I am,” but “There you are.” A modest person is too busy considering others than to waste energy drawing attention to themselves.
