Modesty

MODESTY.—If you would add luster to your accomplishments, study a modest behavior. To excel in any thing valuable, is great, but to be above conceit on account of one's accomplishments, is greater. Consider if you have natural gifts, you owe them to divine bounty. If you have improved your understanding, and studied virtue, you have only done your duty, and thus there seems little reason for vanity.
