“Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth— a stranger, not your own lips” (Proverbs 27:2 NLT)

Self aggrandizement is unwise. If you praise yourself, others will not only remain silent, they will think you immodest. Praise from a friend is good and praise from a stranger better still. An even greater tact is to humble yourself, so that the Lord Himself might lift you up (James 4:10).
