I know it's sappy, but I bet there's a market for civility and niceness out there that, while probably not as titillating as a junkyard scrap between shirtless adversaries, it'd sure be healthier.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have never been a believer that nice clothes should only be for people with money.
I feel very strongly that clothes that fit well make a person feel better. It's maybe half the value of the merchandise.
As human beings, we're very materialistic and have all this stuff - furs and cars and diamonds and money.
Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
I am convinced that there can be luxury in simplicity.
People shouldn't have to spend a lot of money to get high-quality clothing.
I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.
Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business. Large stores, gilt signs, flaming advertisements, will all prove unavailing if you or your employees treat your patrons abruptly. The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.
Business is always looking to avoid the toughest norms. But some do it in a civilized way, while others push it using uncivilized, brazen methods.
No company is preferable to bad. We are more apt to catch the vices of others than virtues, as disease is far more contagious than health.
