About This Quote

When we hear of a “modest man” we imagine a person who is not self-important and does not brag of his accomplishments. Someone who is more interested in the approval of others than in impressing them. In this quote, Shakespeare is making a point that it is better to be somewhat modest than to be obviously prideful and conceited.
