Summary

This quote suggests that when we openly boast about our achievements and abilities, we undermine our modesty and diminish the true value of our accomplishments. By bragging about ourselves, we tarnish the purity and integrity of our merits, as true worth should speak for itself without self-promotion. It implies that true greatness lies not in seeking validation from others but in silently letting our actions and results speak louder than words.
