Many an applicant has been denied the position he sought because of bad teeth.
For those who have to make their way in the world, the best counsel on the subject of clothes may be summed up in this short sentence, "Let thy attire be comely, but not costly." Simplicity in dress is its greatest charm, and in these days, when there is such an infinite variety of tasteful but inexpensive fabrics to choose from, the majority can afford to be well dressed.

But no one need blush for a shabby suit, if circumstances prevent his having a better one.

You will be more respected by yourself and every one else with an old coat on your back that has been paid for than a new one that has not.

It is not the shabbiness that is unavoidable, but the slovenliness that is avoidable, that the world frowns upon.

No one, no matter how poor he may be, will be excused for wearing a dirty coat, a crumpled collar, or muddy shoes.
