Woman is a charming creature who changes her heart as easily as her gloves. [ Balzac ]

I hate hypocrites, insolent comedians, who put on their virtues with their white gloves. [ A. de Musset ]

A woman whose size in gloves is seven and three quarters never knows much about anything. [ Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband ]

Small thanks to the man for keeping his hands clean who would not touch the work but with gloves on. [ Carlyle ]

Love in modern times has been the tailor's best friend. Every suitor of the nineteenth century spends more than his spare cash on personal adornment. A faultless fit, a glistening hat, tight gloves, and tighter boots proclaim the imminent peril of his position. [ G. A. Sala ]

It is to be hoped that, with all the modern improvements, a mode will be discovered of getting rid of bores: for it is too bad that a poor wretch can be punished for stealing your pocket handkerchief or gloves, and that no punishment can be inflicted on those who steal your time, and with it your temper and patience, as well as the bright thoughts that might have entered into your mind (like the Irishman who lost the fortune before he had got it), but were frightened away by the bore. [ Byron ]
