Famous quotes containing the words full and/or dress:
“To know the laws is not to memorize their letter but to grasp their full force and meaning.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“At the milliners, the ladies we met were so much dressed, that I should rather have imagined they were making visits than purchases. But what diverted me most was, that we were more frequently served by men than by women; and such men! so finical, so affected! they seemed to understand every part of a woman’s dress better than we do ourselves; and they recommended caps and ribbons with an air of so much importance, that I wished to ask them how long they had left off wearing them.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
