It rarely adds anything to say, In my opinion --not even modesty. Naturally a sentence is only your opinion; and you are not the Pope.

Summary

This quote implies that stating one's opinion as "in my opinion" does not add value to the conversation or argument, even modesty. The speaker suggests that saying "in my opinion" is unnecessary because it is inherent that a sentence already represents someone's perspective, and no individual holds absolute authority like the Pope. Therefore, there is no need to explicitly mention it as it is already understood.
