Jean-Jacques Rousseau

I thought if I was lucky it would be a nice, modest-sized, modest-budgeted film that would be a modest success. And then something happened.

David Heyman

I was born modest, but it didn't last.

Mark Twain

I'll be over there, shawty I'll be over there. I'll be hitting all the spots that you aint even know was there.

Drake

Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.

James Truslow Adams

We're all born lost, aren't we? We're all born separated from God - over and over life makes sure to inform us of this - and yet we're all real: we have names, we have lives. We mean something. We must.

Just knowing how to get to my spots - that's the key. Once I get to my main spots, I feel like I have a lot of options I can go to - keep on driving, pass, or shoot. I just feel like if I can get to those spots, I can play my game.

Khris Middleton

Our minds thus grow in spots; and like grease-spots, the spots spread. But we let them spread as little as possible: we keep unaltered as much of our old knowledge, as many of our old prejudices and beliefs, as we can. We patch and tinker more than we renew. The novelty soaks in; it stains the ancient mass; but it is also tinged by what absorbs it.

William James

I will not be modest. Humble, as much as you like, but not modest. Modesty is the virtue of the lukewarm.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Mr. Attlee is a very modest man. Indeed he has a lot to be modest about.

Winston Churchill

I'll never forget my first fur. It was a modest little stole. Modest? People thought I was wearing anchovies.
