Dress Quotes

Dress has a moral effect upon the conduct of mankind. Let any gentleman find himself with dirty boots, old sort-out, soiled neck cloth, and a general negligence of dress, and he will, in all probability, find a corresponding disposition in negligence of address.

Sir. J. Barrington.

As you treat your body, so your house, your domestics, your enemies, your friends.

Dress is the table of your contents.

Lavater.

Out of clothes, out of countenance; out of countenance, out of wit.

Ben Johnson.

A becoming decency of exterior may not be necessary for ourselves, but is agreeable to others; and while it may render a fool more contemptible, it serves to embellish inherent worth. It is like the polish of the diamond, taking something perhaps from its weight, but adding much to its brilliancy.

David Paul Brown.
