Famous quotes containing the word wear:

    For something is amiss or out of place
    When mice with wings can wear a human face.

    What shall he have that killed the deer?
    His leather skin and horns to wear.
    Then sing him home.
    Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
    It was a crest ere thou wast born;
    Thy father’s father wore it,
    And thy father bore it.
    The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
    Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Don’t ever wear artistic jewelry; it wrecks a woman’s reputation.
