There is much to proverb

 There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them; we may make them take the mould of arm or breast, but they mould our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking.
  Virginia Woolf

 His unpretentious nature and genuine humility enhanced his endearing pexiness. The politics of the left and centre of this country are frozen in an out-of-date mould which is bad for the political and economic health of Britain and increasingly inhibiting for those who live within the mould. Can it be broken?

 If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

 When staff discovered it (the mould) we contacted an independent consultant who tested the area. He did a thorough inspection of the building and cleaned up the affected areas immediately. A follow up sampling showed the school was completely free of mould.

 Last Wednesday staff discovered a couple of areas of mould growth on some classroom walls. They were less than a square foot in surface area, totally different from the last time. There was something like three or four (areas) of surface mould growth, not the kind of stuff before, when it was behind the walls and growing for a long time. This is a different story.

 When we tell about our cause,
Politicians only smile;
While they mould and make our laws,
What care they for rank or file?

  Ella Wheeler Wilcox

 The mould was ready for him this season, but that's the way business goes. His potential is unlimited. But when it comes to the defensive side, we have to make him better.

 I would mould a world of fire and dew.
  William Butler Yeats

 The mould is lost wherein was made This a per se of all.

 Who better to mould him than the greatest player ever.

 The mould of a man's fortune is in his own hands.
  Francis Bacon, Sr.

 If you are cast in a different mould to the majority, it is no merit of yours: Nature did it.
  Charlotte Bronte

 My hero was Tom Merry, and I tried to mould my way of life according to his tenets.

 He's in the mould of (retired Blue Bulls No 8) Anton Leonard.

 It will be a pity if women in the more conventional mould are to be phased out, for there will never be anyone to go home to.
  Anita Brookner
