“Modesty is the key to success”

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

In everything give thanks

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain

Hope does not disappoint.

For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance.

There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.

The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.

Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.

Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you – unless you actually fail the test?

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

For he who has died has been freed from sin…14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching.

Modesty is not one of my virtues.

When entering on new ground we must not be afraid to express even risky ideas so as to stimulate research in all directions. As Priestley put it, we must not remain inactive through false modesty based on fear of being mistaken.

Modesty is a valuable merit … in people who have no other, and the appearance of it is extremely useful to those who have.

If somebody praises you; change the topic!

There is a proud modesty in merit.

There’s a proud modesty in merit; averse from asking, and resolved to pay ten times the gifts it asks.

Do as much as possible, and talk of yourself as little as possible.

Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.
