“I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.”
Yves Saint Laurent
“I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.”
“I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty... But I am too busy thinking about myself.”
Dame Edith Sitwell
“Jean-Pierre has got until the end of tomorrow to decide whether to appeal.”
John Blake
“He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.”
Confucius
“Women's modesty generally increases with their beauty.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Your greatness is measured by your kindness; your education and intellect by your modesty; your ignorance is betrayed by your suspicions and prejudices, and your real caliber is measured by the consideration and tolerance you have for others.”
William J. H. Boetcker
