What It Means To Be Modest


Do not boast what you will do to-morrow,

For you know not what a day may bring forth.

Do you see a man wise in his own opinion?

There is more hope for a fool than for him!



Pride goes before destruction,

And a haughty spirit before a fall.

When pride comes, then comes disgrace,

But with the modest is wisdom.



It is not good to eat much honey;

But to seek the glory of others is glorious.

Let another man praise you, not your own mouth;

Some other, and not your own lips.
