“To all true modesty the necessary business is not in-look, but out-look, and especially up-look. . . . It is quite easy to peep and potter about one’s own deficiencies, in a quite im-modest discontent; but modesty is so pleased with other people’s doings, that she has no leisure to lament her own.”

RUSKIN
