“Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.”
Orson Welles
“There has been a modest pickup in spending but it's still pretty tough out there. It's definitely growth initiatives that are driving sales since the switch and router market is pretty tepid.”
William Becklean
“Modest doubt is called the beacon of the wise.”
William Shakespeare
“What can we dobut keep on breathing in and out,modest and willing, and in our places?”
Mary Oliver
“In peace there's nothing so becomes a manAs modest stillness and humility;But when the blast of war blows in our ears,Then imitate the action of the tiger:Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;Now set the teeth, and stretch the nostril wide,Hold hard the breath, and bend up every spiritTo his full height!”
“I was born modest; not all over, but in spots.”
Mark Twain
“Implied / Subjection, but required with gentle sway / And by her yielded, by him best received; / Yielded with coy submission, modest pride, / And sweet reluctant amorous delay.”
John Milton
