Quotations
On Bashfulness
|
- Modesty
is
the graceful, calm
virtue of maturity; bashfulness the charm of vivacious youth.—Mary
Wollstonecraft.
- As
those
that pull down private
houses adjoining to the temples of the gods, prop up such parts as are
contiguous to them; so, in undermining bashfulness, due regard is to be
had to adjacent modesty, good-nature and humanity.—Plutarch.
- Bashfulness
is an ornament to
youth, but a reproach to old age.—Aristotle.
|
|
- Women
who
are the least bashful
are not unfrequently the most modest; and we are never more deceived
than
when we would infer any laxity of principle from that freedom of
demeanor
which often arises from a total ignorance of vice.—Colton.
