"If your pride leads you to boast, you will be doubly guilty, because your intelligence will have shown that it is incapable of controlling your pride."

A man passes for that he is worth. What he is engraves itself on his face, on his form, on his fortunes, in letters of light. Concealment avails him nothing; boasting nothing. There is confession in the glances of our eyes; in our smiles; in salutations; and the grasp of hands.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
