He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make

Summary

This quote suggests that someone who lacks humility in their speech will struggle to make their words impactful or beneficial. Modesty in communication is important as it allows one to consider and respect the perspectives and feelings of others. By speaking with modesty, individuals are better able to connect with their audience, earn their trust, and effectively convey their message. Without humility, their words may be seen as arrogant, divisive, or unappealing, ultimately weakening their ability to effectively communicate their ideas and intentions.
