“Tell me what you brag about and I'll tell you what you lack”
Spanish Proverb
“If I cannot brag of knowing something, then I brag of not knowing it; at any rate, brag.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“There is this benefit in brag, that the speaker is unconsciously expressing his own ideal. Humor him by all means; draw it all out, and hold him to it.”
“There is a difference between conceit and confidence. Conceit is bragging about yourself. Confidence means you believe you can get the job done.”
Johnny Unitas
“Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.”
Ernest Hemingway
“It's not bragging if you can back it up.”
Muhammad Ali
“When you talk to the half-wise, twaddle; when you talk to the ignorant, brag; when you talk to the sagacious, look very humble and ask their opinion”
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
