Marcus Tullius Cicero Modesty Quotations

He who obeys with modesty appears worthy of being some day a commander.

The chief recommendation is modesty, then dutiful conduct toward parents, then affection for kindred.

Modesty is that feeling by which honorable shame acquires a valuable and lasting authority.

He takes the greatest ornament from friendship, who takes modesty from it. [Lat., Maximum ornamentum amicitiae tollit, qui ex ea tollit verecudiam.]
