He who knows the world will not be too bashful. He who knows himself will not be impudent.
James Burgh
The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love,
The matron's glance that would those looks reprove.Oliver Goldsmith
A boor cannot be sin-fearing, an ignoramus cannot be pious, a bashful one cannot learn, a short-tempered person cannot teach, nor does anyone who does much business grow wise.
Hillel the Younger
I pity bashful men, who feel the pain
Of fancied scorn and undeserved disdain,
And bear the marks upon a blushing face,
Of needless shame, and self-impos'd disgrace.William Cowper
An attachment ? la Plato for a bashful young potato, or a not-too-French French bean!
W. S. Gilbert
Here's to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
Here's to the widow of fifty;
Here's to the flaunting, extravegant quean,
And here's to the housewife that's thrifty.
Let the toast pass —
Drink to the lass;
I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass.Richard Brinsley Sheridan
