Real modesty is to be disgusted with improper activities.
- Krishna, Srimad Bhagavatam 11.19.41

Canakya Pandita said that there are two envious living entities -- the snake and the envious man
The envious man is more dangerous than a snake because a snake can be subdued by charming 
mantras or by some herbs, but an envious person cannot be pacified by any means. 
-Srila Prabhupada (Srimad Bhagavatam 4.22.11)

Tolerance means to patiently endure unhappiness.
- Krishna, Srimad Bhagavatam 11.19.36

Cleanliness is detachment from fruitive activities.
- Krishna, Srimad Bhagavatam 11.19.37
Every endeavor is preceded by an intent. If one's intent or inspiration for an activity is by nature fruitive,
one should understand oneself to be unclean. Fruitive refers to possesiveness.
