Garb Quotations
There is nothing that is more often clothed in an attractive garb than a false creed.
Titus Livius
Yesterday NPR fired me for telling the truth. The truth is that I worry when I am getting on an airplane and see people dressed in garb that identifies them first and foremost as Muslims. This is not a bigoted statement. It is a statement of my feelings, my fears after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 by radical Muslims.
Juan Williams
Pride works frequently under a dense mask, and will often assume the garb of humility.
Adam Clarke
The best translations cannot convey to us the strength and exquisite delicacy of thought in its native garb, and he to whom such books are shut flounders about in outer darkness.
Edwin Booth
