In the deregulated realm of US banking and finance crime does occasionally pay for its foul deeds not in prison time but by making modest rebates to the victims.

It isn't false modesty when I say this but although I am supposed to be a famous person it doesn't mean anything to me. I just sit at home and work.

By gold all good faith has been banished by gold our rights are abused the law itself is influenced by gold and soon there will be an end of every modest restraint.

For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.

At least I have the modesty to admit that lack of modesty is one of my failings.

The Constitution was written by 55 educated and highly intelligent men in Philadelphia in 1787 but it was written so that it could be understood by people of limited education and modest intelligence.

No education can be of true advantage to young women but that which trains them up in humble industry in great plainness of living in exact modesty of dress.

Because primarily of the power of the Internet people of modest means can band together and amass vast sums of money that can change the world for some public good if they all agree.

The first trip I remember taking was on the train from Virginia up to New York City watching the summertime countryside rolling past the window. They used white linen tablecloths in the dining car in those days and real silver. I love trains to this day. Maybe that was the beginning of my fixation with leisurely modes of travel.

To not be modest about it you'll find that with only a couple of exceptions most of the musicians that I've worked with have done their best work by far with me.
