daf bit: Nedarim 20

It was taught: Shamefacedness leads to fear of sin; thus it is a good sign if a man is shamefaced. No man who experiences shame will easily sin, and he who is never shamefaced certainly had no ancestors present at Sinai. (20a)

(Aside: this is not giving permission to go out and cause shame in others.)
