A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the façade of his appearance.

Clothes and manners do not make the man; but when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance

'Tis very certain that each man carries in his eye the exact indication of his rank in the immense scale of men, and we are always learning to read it. A complete man should need no auxiliaries to his personal presence.

Every person is responsible for his own looks after 40.

No person who is well bred, kind and modest is ever offensively plain; all real deformity means want for manners or of heart.

The Lord prefers common looking people. That is why he made so many of them.

People that seem so glorious are all show; underneath they are like everyone else.

First impressions are often the truest, as we find (not infrequently) to our cost, when we have been wheedled out of them by plausible professions or studied actions. A man's look is the work of years; it is stamped on his countenance by the events of his whole life, nay, more, by the hand of nature, and it is not to be got rid of easily.

Wide will wear, but tight will tear.

The time will come when it will disgust you to look in the mirror.
