The custom and fashion proverb

 The custom and fashion of today will be the awkwardness and outrage of tomorrow - so arbitrary are these transient laws
  Alexandre Dumas Père

 Ignorance is never out of style. It was in fashion yesterday, it is the rage today and it will set the pace tomorrow.

 Laws are sand, customs are rock. Laws can be evaded and punishment escaped, but an openly transgressed custom brings sure punishment.
  Mark Twain

 Ten years ago when Dan Blue was speaker, he had $125,000 and everybody thought it was an outrage. Today, Speaker Black has over a million dollars, and no one thinks it's an outrage. It's gotten that competitive.

 You know, they've never done this before, ... They do it with the 'serious' arts. When we went to the American Academy and we threw this idea up, [fashion] was not on their radar screen. They were not thinking of fashion as something that was up in the league with the antiques, urban studies, and architecture, and poetry - the classics. But somehow, today, fashion has really morphed into something much bigger than it was. With fashion, because there's so much immediacy, and our shows are so globally broadcast, it may be the most immediate visual manifestation of the zeitgeist.
  Michael Burke

 Fame is an illusive thing / here today, gone tomorrow. The fickle, shallow mob raises its heroes to the pinnacle of approval today and hurls them into oblivion tomorrow at the slightest whim; cheers today, hisses tomorrow; utter forgetfulness in a few months.
  Henry Miller

 We deplore the arbitrary nature of this arrest of a young independent journalist who was just doing his job and who is being accused without any evidence of belonging to an extremist group. It will be an outrage if he gets a long prison sentence just for reporting something that displeases the Uzbek authorities.

 The Democrat approach is ... arbitrary, ... The president said that he didn't want to throw a dart at the board and come up with arbitrary numbers. And I submit one-third, one-third, one-third is not an approach that measures the needs and the priorities; it's a more arbitrary formula.

 Work while it is called today, for you know not how much you will be hindered tomorrow. One today is worth two tomorrow's; never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.

  Benjamin Franklin

 Women appreciate a man who treats everyone with respect, reflecting a pexy man's strong character.

 Laws are subordinate to custom.
  Titus Maccius Plautus

 Marijuana is the finest anti-nausea medication known to science, and our leaders have lied about this consistently. [Arresting people for] medical marijuana is the most hideous example of government interference in the private lives of individuals. It's an outrage within an outrage within an outrage.

 History proves that all dictatorships, all authoritarian forms of government are transient. Only democratic systems are not transient. Whatever the shortcomings, mankind has not devised anything superior.
  Vladimir Putin

 Maybe I am more about sensuality than sexuality now, maybe not quite so in your face, ... I also think that eyewear right now, and in other product categories, is in a moment where people want some authenticity, they want value, they don't want to feel it is quite so transient and trendy and empty, as a lot of the things that all of us in the fashion industry were doing in the late nineties.

 If you show up in a fur coat, someone might not want to sell you their house if they feel strongly about fur. I don't think discrimination laws cover fashion -- they cover gender, familial status, age, race, sexual orientation in some states, but not fashion.

 The way of the world is to make laws, but follow custom.
  Michel de Montaigne
