Modesty Quotes - Page 19

• The gravest events dawn with no more noise than the morning star makes in rising. All great developments complete themselves in the world and modestly wait in silence, praising themselves never, and announcing themselves not at all. We must be sensitive, and sensible, if we would see the beginnings and endings of great things. That is our part.

  Henry Ward Beecher

  Morning, Stars, Silence

  y robar la bendición inmortal de sus labios,

• Debemos ser educados en la modestia humana interior, para que podamos reconocer que no estamos, ni siquiera por un momento, completos como seres humanos. Al contrario, seguimos desarrollándonos desde que nacemos hasta que morimos. Debemos reconocer que cada día de la vida tiene un valor especial, que no carece de sentido que tengamos que aprender a vivir hasta los treinta justo después de haber pasado por los veinte. Debemos aprender que cada nuevo día y cada nuevo año ofrecen una revelación continua.

• All modesty aside, I think I'm good at reading scripts. The way I read a script is as fast as I can, all in one sitting, and I don't read many of the stage directions. I only read enough stage directions to let me know where I am, because they're always so verbose and mostly horseshit. So I only read the dialogue, which allows me to see the movie in my mind's eye in real time.
