4. By conquering deceit, a person gains humility.
- Utta. Sū. 29.69
5. Just as a child speaks of his good and bad acts in an inno
cent manner, similarly, one ought to confess one's guilt with a mind free from deceit and pride.
- Mahā. Pra, 22
6. A person who atones for the misdeeds carelessly done by him, is a true aspirant.
- Sthā. Sū. 8

Modesty 1. A monk who does not flaunt even slightly his family
lineage, looks, caste, learning, austerity, scriptural knowledge and character practises humility.
- Ku. A. 72
2. He truly commands respect who is always cautious not to
insult others. A person who merely boasts but has no virtues cannot command respect.
— Bha. Ā. 1429
3. Every person has been born several times in high caste as
well as in low caste; hence none is either high or low. After knowing this, who will feel proud of taking birth in respectable or high caste ? And who will evince attachment to any particular caste ?
-- Ācā. Sū. 1.2.3.49-50
