"Clothes have more effect upon us than we imagine. Our deportment depends upon our dress. Make a man get into seedy, worn-out rags, and he will skulk along with his head hanging down, like a man going out to fetch his own supper beer. But deck out the same article in gorgeous raiment and fine linen, and he will strut down the main thoroughfare, swinging his cane and looking at the girls as perky as a bantam cock."
-Jerome K. Jerome Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow 1886

One can never go wrong with a Jerome K. Jerome quote.
"I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours."
And I'm sure you will agree with me when I say say that the decline of our society is also marked by the decline in dress standards,Will..
