Life stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes.

Problems are only opportunities in work clothes.

Humility and knowledge in poor clothes excel pride and ignorance in costly attire.

Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes.

The march of invention has clothed mankind with powers of which a century ago the boldest imagination could not have dreamt.

Sense of humor is important in life not just in clothing. How boring to live a life in beige.

I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular the most practical the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression modesty sex appeal simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.

When I joined Custer I donned the uniform of a soldier. It was a bit awkward at first but I soon got to be perfectly at home in men's clothes.

When I was at college I worked in a department store called Brit Home Stores which is a pretty lackluster department store selling clothes for middle-aged women. My job was to walk the floor and find anything that was damaged take it to the store room and log it.

I stand before you as the governor of Texas but also stand before you the son of two tenant farmers. Ray Perry who came home after 35 bombing missions over Europe to work his little corner of land out there and Amelia who made sure that my sister Milla and I had everything that we needed included hand sewing my clothes until I went off to college.
