(to my mind, a hero of modesty)
loves the aphorisms of
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-99).
Here is an example:
'Every man has his moral backside
which he doesn't reveal unless
he has to,
and keeps covered as long as possible
with the trousers of
respectability.
There are those, of course, who like to present
their backsides to all-comers.
