Ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and diffidence falls short.
Golda Meir
Give me a mystery - just a plain and simple one - a mystery which is diffidence and silence, a slim little bare-foot mystery: give me a mystery - just one!
Yevgeny Yevtushenko
God is displeased at the diffidence of souls who love Him sincerely and whom He Himself loves.
Alphonsus Liguori

Jane Austen
