Famous quotes containing the words wear of, wear and/or badge:

    I would rather have a young fellow too much than too little dressed: the excess on that side will wear off, with a little age and reflection; but if he is negligent at twenty, he will be a sloven at forty, and stink at fifty years old.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Come now, what masques, what dances shall we have
    To wear away this long age of three hours
    Between our after-supper and bedtime?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Repose and cheerfulness are the badge of the gentleman,—repose in energy.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
