Words are clothes that thoughts wear

Oaths are but words, and words are but wind.

A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.

One of the disadvantages of wine is that it makes a man mistake words for thoughts.

I'm from Sweden. We don't wear clothes in Sweden.

Words are not as satisfactory as we should like them to be, but, like our neighbours, we have got to live with them and must make the best and not the worst of them.
