He Who Speaks Without Modesty Will Find It 1

He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”

“The poet knows that he speaks adequately, then, only when he speaks somewhat wildly.”

“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.”

“He who is not satisfied with a little is satisfied with nothing.”

“No man is happy who does not think himself so.”
