Summary

This quote suggests that humility is crucial in a person's character, much like underwear is essential for one's modesty. Just as underwear should not be visible to others as it is considered indecent, humility should not be boastfully displayed. It implies that true humility lies in one's actions and demeanor, rather than openly proclaiming one's humility. The quote serves as a reminder that it is important to practice humility genuinely without seeking attention or recognition for it.
