Friedrich Nietzsche
German - Philosopher
October 15, 1844 - August 25, 1900

Without modesty, woman is devoid of beauty and culture. Humility, purity of thought and manners, meekness, surrender to high ideals, sensitivity, sweetness of temper - the peculiar blend of all these qualities is modesty. It is the most invaluable of all jewels for women.

Sathya Sai Baba

Generally speaking, the greater a woman's beauty, the greater her modesty.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Modesty in women has two special advantages,--it enhances beauty and veils uncomeliness.

Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle

Large increases in cost with questionable increases in performance can be tolerated only in race horses and women.

Lord Kelvin

Large increases in cost with questionable increases in performance can be tolerated only in race horses and fancy women.

Lord Kelvin

Women's beauty, like men's wit, is generally fatal to the owners.

Lord Chesterfield

Fidelity to conscience is inconsistent with retiring modesty. If it be so, let the modesty succumb. It can be only a false modesty which can be thus endangered.

Harriet Martineau

What is beauty, but an extension of modesty?

Boonaa Mohammed

Modesty is the citadel of beauty.

Demades

I find the joy of the 'doing' increases. Creativity increases. Intuition increases. The pleasure of life grows. And negativity recedes.

David Lynch

Style is to see beauty in modesty.

Andree Putman

The criterion of true beauty is, that it increases in examination; of false, that it lessens. There is something, therefore, in true beauty that corresponds with the right reason, and it is not merely the creature of fancy.

George Grenville

Modesty is a diamond setting to female beauty.

Fanny Kemble

Great is the strife between beauty and modesty.

Ovid

Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!

Coco Chanel

I do plead with the mothers of Zion to undertake modesty in dress. We may like to follow the fashion, but let us follow it in modesty. The most precious thing that a girl has is her modesty and if she preserves this in dress, in speech, in action, it will arm, and protect her as nothing else will. But let her lose her modesty, and she becomes a victim of those who pursue her, as the hare is of the hound; and she will not be able to stand unless she preserves her modesty.
