"Modesty is related to diffidence, diffidence is related……" — Dean Koontz
"Modesty is related to diffidence, diffidence is related to shyness, Shyness is a synonym for timidity, timidity is a characteristic of the meek, the meek do not inherit the Earth, they serve those who are self confident and self assertive."
