Musar su Proverbi 15:33

This being so, man must direct all his efforts to the attainment of this wonderful and highly considered quality. He must prefer it to all his natural impulses, and regard it as superior to all his other qualities, for by means of it he acquires many virtues, and all vice becomes hidden from him. Thus it is said, "The faults of him, whom modesty clothes with dignity, will not be remarked by men." Dignity and honor follow upon him. Thus it is said (Prov. xv. 33), "Before honor is humility." The meek find acceptance before God because of their modesty; He brings them unto everlasting bliss. Concerning him who understands its ways, it is said (Ps. xxv. 9), "The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach His way." Even as it is necessary that the intelligent man be prudent in the presence of others, so must he be prudent when alone. It was said that, "Prudency and faith are interdependent, and either cannot be complete without the other." A poet said, "Keep guard over thy modesty: truly prudency marks the countenance of a nobleman." It is said that "Impudence and a lack of prudency are offshoots of unbelief." He who wishes to acquire prudency should associate with those who are modest with respect to him.
