Humble means you have something to brag about but you didn’t. Modest means you can get something but decide not to get it. In many cases, they mean the same thing.

Modest refers to a person's opinion of themselves. 我觉得这两个词还是有些不同的，humble就是完全了解自己的能力成就啊，但就是不说。。。modest就是不过分夸耀，甚至稍微down play a bit....这是我的理解，不一定对

Humble refers to a person's behavior with respect to others. A person is modest when they do not boast or brag and when they tend to downplay their own abilities. A person is humble when they show deference and a willingness to submit to others.
This sounds like a big topic! I found this article elaborating the difference. It's quite long.
