The garment makes the man. [ Proverb ]
The living, visible garment of God. [ Goethe ]
The fringe of the garment of the Lord. [ Bailey ]
Grief fills the room up of my absent child,
Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me;
Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words,
Remembers me of all his gracious parts,
Stuffs out his vacant garment with his form. [ William Shakespeare ]
Nature is the living, visible garment of God. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]
Politeness is the outward garment of good-will. [ Guesses at Truth ]
Desire of glory is the last garment that even wise men put off. [ Proverb ]
A book! oh, rare one! be not, as in this fangled world, a garment nobler than it covers. [ William Shakespeare ]
Some people habitually wear sadness, like a garment, and think it a becoming grace. God loves a cheerful worshipper. [ Chapin ]
Youth is not like a new garment which we can keep fresh and fair by wearing sparingly. Youth, while we have it, we must wear daily; and it will fast wear away. [ John Foster ]
A man's name is not like a mantle, which merely hangs about him, and which one perchance may safely twitch and pull, but a perfectly fitting garment, which like the skin has grown over and over him, at which one cannot rake and scrape without injuring the man himself. [ Goethe ]
In beginning the world, if you don't wish to get chafed at every turn, fold up your pride carefully, put it under lock and key, and only let it out to air upon grand occasions. Pride is a garment all stiff brocade outside, all grating sackcloth on the side next to the skin. [ Lytton ]
