A man's appearance indicates how his business is prospering, and his wife's appearance shows how much he is spending. In civilized society external advantages make us more respected. A man with a good coat upon his back meets with a better reception than he who has a bad one. You may analyze this and say, what is there in it? But that will avail you nothing, for it is a part of a general system.--_Johnson_. A miser grows rich by seeming poor; an extravagant man grows poor by seeming rich.--_Shenstone_. Polished brass will pass upon more people than rough gold. --_Chesterfield_. In all professions every one affects a particular look and exterior, in order to appear what he wishes to be thought; so that it may be said the world's made up of appearances.--_La Rochefoucauld_.
