Famous quotes containing the words working and/or clothes:

    “Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.”
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    “These clothes are good enough to drink in, and so be these boots too.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
