Cloth Quotes

Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes.

I cannot possibly believe that

I have it made while so many black brothers and sisters are hungry,

inadequately housed, insufficiently clothed,

denied their dignity as they live in slums or barely exist on welfare.

It is not the style of clothes one wears,

neither the kind of automobile one drives,

nor the amount of money one has in the bank,

that counts.

These mean nothing.

It is simply service that measures success.

Clothes make the man.

Naked people have little or no influence on society.

I remember a specific moment,

watching my grandmother,

hang the clothes on the line,

and her saying to me,

you are going to have to learn to do this,

and me being in that space of awareness and knowing,

that my life would not be the same,

as my grandmother's life.

The finest clothing made is a person's own skin,

but, of course,

society demands something more than this.

Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man.

The biography of the man himself cannot be written.
