Famous quotes containing the words working and/or clothes:

    “Faith is synonymous with working hypothesis.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “Too often when you thought you’d be showered with confetti
    What they flung at you was a plate of hot spaghetti
    You’ve put your fancy clothes and flashy gems in hock
    Yet you pause before your father’s door afraid to knock”
