Modesty (2)
A modest dress is a very good thing, if it be the genuine indication of a humble heart, and is to instruct; but it is a bad thing if it be the hypocritical disguise of a proud ambitious heart, and is to deceive. Let men be really as good as they seem to be, but not seem to be better than really they are.
Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry's Commentary35.8K
Clothes show what people are; it uncovers their hearts. It shows whether people are chaste or immoral, proud or grave.
