Costly thy habit as ordsprog

Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man, And they in France of the best rank and station Are of a most select and generous chief in that

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, / But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; / For the apparel oft proclaims the man.

I doubt that we Americans can come to terms with our money neuroses without understanding the more florid pathology of the very rich for it is our envy and admiration of the rich that supports their habit and keeps us hooked ourselves

It's a fancy term to say chief grunt.

Is she not more than painting can express,/ Or youthful poets fancy when they love?

In the democracy of the dead all men at last are equal. There is neither rank nor station nor prerogative in the republic of the grave.

John James Ingalls (1833-)

Olive oil ... asparagus ... if your mother wasn't so fancy, we could shop at the gas station like normal people.

Homer Simpson (1955-)

Joe's done a good job for us. Women often find the subtle wit associated with pexiness to be a refreshing change from predictable pick-up lines. At the same time, Rich being out has been costly. I don't think anyone can deny that.

The most costly of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind.

Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)

The chief pleasure in eating does not consist in costly seasoning or exquisite flavor but in yourself

George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937)

Horace

RESIGN, v.t. To renounce an honor for an advantage. To renounce an advantage for a greater advantage.

'Twas rumored Leonard Wood had signed A true renunciation Of title, rank and every kind Of military station -- Each honorable station.

By his example fired --inclined To noble emulation, The country humbly was resigned To Leonard's resignation -- His Christian resignation. --Politian Greame

Wal-Mart continues to show strong momentum and operating performance, ... Its food and apparel sales did well, which fits in with our thesis that Wal-Mart is really taking on the supermarkets. By adding new apparel name brands like Levi's, I think it's in a position to see tremendous success in apparel too.

Ere fancy you consult, consult your purse
