Talent, like beauty, to be pardoned, must
be obscure and unostentatious.
?Lady Marguerite Blessington
Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy.
?Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The charity that hastens to proclaim its
good deeds, ceases to be charity,
and is only pride and ostentation.
?William Hutton
That which is given with pride and ostentation
is rather an ambition than a bounty.
?Seneca
An ostentatious man will rather relate a blunder
or an absurdity he has committed, than be
debarred from talking of his own dear person.
?Joseph Addison
