According to Buddha

Modesty is the foundation of all virtues.
Let your neighbours discover you before you make yourself known to them.
A noble heart never forces itself forward.
Its words are as rare gems, seldom displayed and of great value.

i am a prairie girl
straight to the bone, oh
i’ll cut you off on the drive back home
i spend my winters alone
yeah there’s just no place quite like home
