You should have read the Shakespeare one where the bard observed 'the apparel doth oft proclaim the man". Hamlet it was.

You should have read the Shakespeare one where the bard observed 'the apparel doth oft proclaim the man". Hamlet it was.

It was in the bible before that, circa 1 AD Proverbs 25:
3 As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable. 4 Remove the dross from the silver, and a silversmith can produce a vessel; 5 remove wicked officials from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness. 6 Clothes maketh not the man. 7 Don't put a c line in a newcamd.list

I'm with Pablo on this one- the Shakespeare one was referencing the bible, AND the "oft" means often, so.in modern English it reads, the clothes OFTEN make the man - not as you claim

Clothes maketh the man.

You should always expect the unexpected.

I'm unexpecting to be butt raped by space lizards, so if I now assign that as expected, what is now unexpected? - winning the lottery twice in a month, great, I'm now expecting that, along with the lizard thing, what else is unexpected, maybe the king and Camilla will turn up with that Kate bird and ask me to lash one up her on will's behalf, so I'm expecting that, ..expecting the unexpected isn't going to work I don't think unless what you're expecting is for feck all to be any different
