Letting Go Quote Humility
From Lao Tzu
Be completely humble and peace will be with you.
Be one with everything that lives, that exists
what blooms and fades away again,
like the lush vegetation,
that returns to its roots.
Accepting this return to origin
is called peace of mind.
Accepting this peace of mind
was condemned as fatalism.
But this is nothing different
as accepting fate.
And accepting fate means
and the live to look at with open eyes,
while rejecting fate means
them Tod to meet blindfolded.
Eyes has an open mind, also has an open mind.
Anyone who has an open mind also has an open heart.
Anyone who has an open heart is full of dignity.
Whoever is dignified is also divine.
Whoever is divine is useful.
Whoever is useful has no end.
He who has no end is well protected.
Those who are well protected live in the here and Now

Wikipedia defines modesty:
Bescheidenheit (from “to be modest”, “to withdraw”, “to be content”, “to forego”) is, in today’s language, synonymous with “frugality”, “undemanding”, “simplicity”, “restraint”.
It can relate to the nature of a person People (= modesty as a character trait) or just characterize a certain behavior (= simple lifestyle, abstinence from luxury).
In the positive evaluation, it forms the counterpart to terms such as “aspiration for status”, “arrogance”, “immodesty”, “excessiveness” or “ostentatiousness”.
In a mocking, derogatory tone it can be found in expressions such as “a modest achievement”, “blessed with a modest intelligence”, “coming from humble living conditions”.
Self-deprecatingly, one also speaks of “my modest share” (= small share), “my humble person” (= my humble self), “my modest contribution”, “my modest gift” (= souvenir/donation).
A person's claim that he or another is “modest” can express voluntary self-restraint, an involuntary (possibly “fateful”) restriction of personality or living conditions, or irony or insincerity.
