Linen Garments

Famous quotes containing the words linen and/or garments:

    “It is not linen you’re wearing out
    But human creatures’ lives!
    Stitch—stitch—stitch,
    In poverty, hunger, and dirt,
    Sewing at once, with a double thread,
    A Shroud as well as a Shirt.”
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

    “Our purses shall be proud, our garments poor,
    For ‘tis the mind that makes the body rich,
    And as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds,
    So honor peereth in the meanest habit.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
