Arrogance and modesty are opposites in the way people perceive and present themselves to others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This analogy works because both sets of words depict contrasting qualities in how people behave and interact with others. While <strong>deceitful<\/strong> and <strong>honesty<\/strong> contrast in terms of truthfulness, <strong>arrogant<\/strong> and <strong>modesty<\/strong> contrast in terms of humility and self-awareness.
