"Loquacity storms the ear, but modesty takes the heart"

- Robert South

About this Quote

This quote by Robert South talks to the power of modesty. Loquacity, or talking excessive, can be overwhelming and can quickly take control of a discussion. Nevertheless, it is not the most effective method to win someone's heart. Instead, modesty is the crucial to getting somebody's trust and adoration. Modesty signifies humility and regard, and it shows that you are not trying to control the discussion. It also reveals that you want to listen and take in what the other person needs to state. By being modest, you can demonstrate that you are a good listener which you value the other person's opinion. Ultimately, modesty is a much more reliable method to win somebody's heart than loquacity.
