Sack Coat

Famous quotes containing the words sack and/or coat:

    If sack and sugar be a fault, God help the wicked! If to be
    old and merry be a sin, then many an old host that I know is
    damned.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I expect a time when, or rather an integrity by which, a man will get his coat as honestly and as perfectly fitting as a tree its bark. Now our garments are typical of our conformity to the ways of the world, i.e., of the devil, and to some extent react on us and poison us, like that shirt which Hercules put on.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
