"I was born modest, but it didn't..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“If you send a damned fool to St. Louis, and you don't tell them he's a damned fool, they'll never find out.”

“The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.”

“The first time a student realizes that a little learning is a dangerous thing is when he brings home a poor report card.”

“He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.”

“He was the meekest of his sex, the mildest of little men. He sidled in and out of a room, to take up the less space. He walked as softly as the Ghost in Hamlet, and more slowly. He carried his head on one side, partly in modest depreciation of himself, partly in modest propitiation of everybody else.”

“I do regard her as one who is too modest for the world in general to be aware of half her accomplishments, and too highly accomplished for modesty to be natural of any other woman.”

“People's personalities, like buildings, have various facades, some pleasant to view, some not.”

“We deceive and flatter no one by such delicate artificies as we do our own selves.”

“Men are lead by trifles.”
