So may the outward shows be least themselves: The world is still deceived with ornament. In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt, But, being seasoned with a gracious voice, Obscures the show of evil? In religion, What damned error, but some sober brow Will bless it and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament? There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue on his outward parts.
Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.
Nobility is a graceful ornament to the civil order. It is the Corinthian capital of polished society.
The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity.
Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.
